America’s War on Terrorism: One Latter-day Saint’s Perspective Since 11 September, support for war, including among Latter-day Saints, has reached levels unknown since the past century’s two great wars. Now that we have “won” the war in Afghanistan and are considering expanding the campaign to other theaters, perhaps it would be wise for us to pause and ask exactly what it means to declare a “war on terrorism” and what perspectives the prophets and scriptures offer us on war. If, as the D&C states, the day will come when Zion will be the only place one can flee for safety and the Latter-day Saints “the only people that shall not be at war,” perhaps we should begin thinking about how to create the conditions that would make this possible.
