The need for change
Our leaders do not mention the fact that a 2000 lb. bomb makes an enormous crater, enough to eat up many lives: plant, animal and human, beyond the target and that bombers flying out over land never return to base loaded; they must drop their bombs somewhere, even if they can’t locate the target. When Donald Rumsfeld speaks of the great cruelties of Saddam Hussein, he doesn’t mention that the US was, for much of the time, furnishing the Iraqi leader with the technical knowledge to murder effectively. US cabinet members don’t tell us how we can be safe in a world in which our souls are contorted by the belief, against the teachings of all the major religions, that is is our right and necessity to bring the living hell called war to others. There are other ways. We must find them. |

Horror,
pain, loss and endless suffering are being inflicted upon men, women,
children, animals, and the land of Iraq by the people of the United
States. The leaders of our government assure us that this living
hell we send them to is necessary to keep us safe, that Saddam Hussein
is the vilest of evil men, having killed hundreds of thousands of
people, that the bombs we drop are not a danger to civilians because
the bombs are so “precise” that they are “humane.”
