>>>We all lose. Pray for your humanity.<<<

True, Ajax, no one wins in war. Here's some lyrics to a song I wrote long ago:

The Chess Child

pawns forced into a retreat
castles covered in defeat
the knights have bravely fallen
the bishops are silently callin'
the queen's heart is crushed,
the king's kingdom brushed.

tis a story so old
with a glory so cold
where winners bow their heads
in tribute to the dead
And children of yesterday
become the warriors of today
and the child who kills tomorrow
will bring the world new sorrow

Somewhere deep in the holy lands
where they keep killing with their hands
a mother and a father
speak to their only child
you cannot drink the water
--it is so full of blood.

pawns forced into a retreat
castles covered in defeat
the knights have bravely fallen
the bishops are silently callin'
the queen's heart is crushed,
the king's kingdom brushed.

By the way, Ajax, I hope you don't mind if I pray for all humanity and not simply my own. Thanks for the nice thought, however.
