Magical thinking

143. That's all I care about, the avoidance of more war, of more blood on OUR hands

of More children killed by OUR chemicals in Syria like they have been killed in Fallujah - let the hawks pretend they were dove's all along, let them stroke their "ego's" with that absurdity rather than stroke them with blood.

We did not avoid the death carnival of choice that was Iraq quite so easily, if all it took to avoid all those people dying was to stroke Bush's ego with claims of his brilliance by his sycophants and the reluctant silence of myself concerning his lack of cloth's I could have spent my wife's last two years of life simply loving and being loved by her rather than spending it with the two of us opposing an absurd war that our conscience demanded we oppose and hopefully stop.

Perhaps another couple will have a chance at a few more months of love together now, without the horrors of war driving then to waste that time trying to stop mad men from killing.

Will's assessment is absolutely correct, but the part of his post that matters the most is we have avoided some bloodshed, at least for now.
