I don't know what to say, Coug. It seems to me like lots of poets are writing really beautiful poems, lyricists writing also. But the words are very painful to read. I think that in order to support the war in Iraq you probably have to never think about images like the ones of dead blown-up children in several of the poems that have been posted on the thread tonight. Certainly it is possible to live in America and watch all sorts of tv news and never, ever see the body of a dead Iraqi. I have no idea why that is. It must be something new, because in Vietnam we saw the disturbing images, and they sheer number and horror of them finally caused the American public to turn against the war. Now who is it who controls the news so much that we don't see Iraqi war images? I have no idea. Like many mysteries of our lives since 9/11, now one even talks about it, really. It's like Christopher Matthews asked the general on Hardball that night--how many Iraqis do we have to kill before they understand we are trying to help them?
