I cannot stop war, even though I am not alone in my efforts. There's a new CW song out there that accuses me, and others like me who feel The Bush Dynasty War isn't the correct answer.
The song tells me to think back about how we fought oppression, how we took up arms to create this country. I haven't heard a song yet that said anything like "Remember that foreign presense in our land was what we fought against" ... ... nor have I heard anything about the last time the USA killed off thousands of innocent civilians and children -- Nagasaki & Hiroshima ... nor has anyone pointed out how well the USA took care of, fed, clothed, educated and protected another defeated people with a different religion and different nations-within-country -- the indigenous peoples of North America I have never been ashamed of my country doing things out of ignorance -- no one could possibly know just how much death and destruction an atomic bomb would generate. Saddended at times, yes. And I appreciate the fact that my country, more or less depending upon obvious & hidden agendas, has worked in charitable ways to attempt to at least cover the scars of war in other places at other times. But I stop appreciating the people who are running our country when they start thinking that they have the ear of God, that they are somehow righteously endowed with god-like knowledge and power, and that this country is big enough and strong enough to prove to the rest of the world that MIGHT MAKES RIGHT -- a concept that can never be justified. No individual, no army, no government, no country is big enough or strong enough to make the killing of innocents -- under the guise of preventing possible harm to itself -- right in the eyes of the world.
