Michael Ware - a MUST read

[sabrina 1]

3. War is evil and the men who start wars are evil. He was a great correspondent, but it finally got to

him. You could tell that before he disappeared, he did not sound like the confident reporter he had been and then he was gone. There were rumors that he had a breakdown. And it seems they were true. His piece sounds distracted, rambling although clear enough to understand the nightmare he was living.

It also sounds like he cannot see his son for some reason. That is sad. I wish him well, although I would not wish for him to return to a war zone, for his sake.

We are so limited in intelligence really, otherwise we would have figured out how to end the barbaric ritual of war by now. We've made very little progress, even though we keep thinking how 'far we have progressed'. Only in being able to make bigger and more powerful weapons which, considering the human tendency for brutality is not progress at all. Real progress would be to make a decision NOT to invent any more technology whose sole function is to kill other human beings.

Another soul destroyed by the evil of war. I hope he recovers and goes on to have a peaceful and happy life. Seeing 'kids blown to pieces' on a regular basis, having a child of his own, that could drive anyone crazy. We were not meant to endure such horror.
