Mid-Week Thoughts - On War

Today I read about Two more Americans killed in Iraq. That makes it 545 since March last year when the Iraq War was launched. Others died too, the soldiers from the countries that make up the “coalition of the willing”. Of course the Iraqis were not spared, the armed ones and the innocent ones.

When will it all end, these killings? Was it necessary to start the war in the first place? Or better still do we need war at all?

The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind

How many times must a man look up
Before he can see the sky?
Yes, 'n' how many ears must one man have
Before he can hear people cry?
Yes, 'n' how many deaths will it take till he knows
That too many people have died?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind,
The answer is blowin' in the wind.
