As they spoke, my thoughts
turned to the television images of dying soldiers and bloodied children of the various worldwide conflicts. While nuclear bombs have continued to mount their mighty forces and as the world approaches its breaking point, to hear those who sit in the belly of the beast laugh and cheer a victory made from blood, made me wish that they alone be forced to die in the horror and...
