Thing is - I don't think anyone should have to die

[Taverner]

I don't think anyone should have to die in Ramallah

I don't think anyone should have to die in Tel Aviv

I don't think anyone should have to die in Baghdad

I don't think anyone should have to die in Kabul

I don't think anyone should have to die in Darfur

I don't think anyone should have to die in Rwanda

I don't think anyone should have to die in Belgrade

I don't think anyone should have to die in Panama

I don't think anyone should have to be killed anywhere in the world

But yet - people who don't think about these things have decided people in all of these places must die

1. Indeed, Taverner.

~PEACE~

2. Worse yet, we know who those people are, and we've been unable to stop them.

It's a horrible feeling, isn't it?

[dysfunctional press]

3. "I don't think anyone should have to die anywhere in the world"...

but it's a good thing that they do, or we'd have run out of food and room awhile back.

4. OK let me change that to no one should have to be killed in the world

Better?

6. I absolutely agree -- it's just our Decider seems to think U.S. lives count more

It's more important that "we haven't been attacked
here in the Homeland" than it is that people are
dying ALL OVER THE WORLD because of our policies
(and don't think for one instant that our action
in Iraq hasn't emboldened/enabled what's going on
in Gaza right now).

Can we just fast-forward to January 20, for Pete's
sake?

7. Most of all they shouldn't die because there is no one to realize "They don't HAVE to die."

Funny how common it is for people who are supposedly thoroughly acquainted with the NEW Testament, a.k.a. The Good News, to say "That's the way it is. Humans have always been horrible to one another." I even received a personal Christmas greeting note recently which implied that Peace is accepting the horrible things that happen and being at peace with "God's Will".

8. Aye - true that

But lets just stop the killing

Please?

All this death is not doing any one any good

Just misery...spread around
