I can certainly relate to your thoughts here.. And I often think of our troops. Whether we agree with the war or not, I can still remember the treatment our "Nam vet receieved and to do so again toa whole new generation of men and women would be a tragedy in and of itself. Not to mentio the losses this "war" could lead to. On all sides.. *sigh* as you can tell, this weighs heavy on my heart tonight.

Just me.

Jack...this poem just so touching and beautiful, that last stanza:

Will their words be bitter toward us?
�Go back home where you belong!�
Or haunting words echoed from Auschwitz
�What took you guys so long?�

This just haunts me so...

Salient points. It's been a war right along; there is no starting anything.

Thoughtful poem. You brought it home.

The Bible says there will always be wars and rumors of war. I guess it's nothing new and when one considers the world is over populated how can we achieve world peace? I feel that the leader of the country may not always be right but when the has a majority vote it is our duty to back him and to pray for him. I doubt that anyone knows the whole truth but I am really thankful that I don't live under a complete dictatorship.

Jack,
You have struck the nail on the head,
If Hitler was not stopped, "Would we be speaking German?"
an excellent write....With a Golden Pen.

Yes...the shades are drawn on this war and the truth is in some mens minds. We will relaize reason and cost simultaniously I'm afraid but freedom is a higher price to pay.
Love your poem.
Peace and love,
Susan
