Tuesday Post for Peace (Graphic Images Below)

Tuesday, 15 May 2007
Well more foreign soldiers have now been killed in Iraq than were killed in the 9/11 attacks.
While there are obvious distinctions in the manner of death and status of the dead (civilian vs. military), the fact remains that each dead person leaves a gaping and torturous hole in the world of the people they leave behind.
Could you imagine politicians leveling the same rhetoric against the Iraq War that was leveled against 9/11?
Do you feel that those responsible for perpetrating the war have any sense of this responsibility they bear?

So I'm committed to One Million Blogs for Peace, and I'm just trying to get in the swing of doing the Tuesday Peace Posts. Before I start, I need to bitch a little!!!

THEY NEED TO POST THE TOPIC EARLY!!!!

It sux that I had to wait until today to find out what the topic is, and then jump through my ass to get it done.

Okay, now I'm starting the actual post.

One death is too many.

Status?? Violent death is violent death. Death by propaganda (no matter who is doing the bullshitting), and death by religion, (no matter what religion), death by bombing, by guns, by the machines of war are all caused by some greedy bastard that wants things or people to conform to his desires.
There are no distinctions to be made between these deaths. They were each one needless.

I can imagine a flying pig, although I've never seen one.

Do you feel that those responsible for perpetrating the war have any sense of this responsibility they bear?

Does any megalomaniac feel any responsibility for anything?? Do sociopaths have a conscience?

1) Anybody who wants the job (of president, dictator, king, queen, emperor, rebel leader, etc... ) shouldn't have it.
2) Power corrupts.
3) Absolute power corrupts absolutely.
