Pusillanimous comes from Late Latin pusillanimis, from Latin pusillus, "very small, tiny, puny" + animus, "soul, mind."
(These, I submit, are very small minds indeed.)
Letters to President George W. Bush
We respectfully urge you to step back from the brink of war and help lead the world to act together to fashion an effective global response to Iraq's threats that conforms with traditional moral limits on the use of military force.
Sincerely yours,
Most Reverend Wilton D. Gregory
Bishop of Belleville
President
My prayer is that you and your colleagues will give diplomacy every opportunity to succeed, and that you will find it possible to use deterrence and containment, not military action, to keep Saddam Hussein in check.
Please be assured that you are and will continue to be in my prayers.
Faithfully,
The Rt. Rev. Mark S. Sisk
Fifteenth Bishop of New York
Now for the statements of a few stalwart minds:
"If the liberties of the American people are ever destroyed, they will fall by the hands of the clergy."
-- General Marquis De Lafayette (1789)
"The United States of America should have a foundation free from the influence of clergy."--George Washington
