Politicians are idiots. There is something about getting themselves elected that gives them license to believe their own crap.

Good insight.

I cannot even begin to express what went on in Croatia during the recent war..you would not believe what the human animal can do to it's neighbour..perhaps one day the world will truly fathom what went on here..perhaps one day the leaders of the Serbian people will pay for the hell..the terror that they birthed in this country..perhaps..perhaps..

Excellent write..you tell it like it is..brava!!

and you know what tho? Even if people in the government were to read this, it would make no difference. I cannot watch the slide show, cause I am already crying. When will it ever be enough? When will people actually be able to get along? When will the different races, genders, nationalities, and religions have respect for one another? it seems the answers to these questions, is never, because governments are greedy and war mongering entities. That is why I sign each review I give the way I do. I pray for a world with joy and peace, a world where we are free to live our lives in contentment. Thnx for sharing C. May the Lord Jesus bless you, and those whom you love, and be with you always, and at your side constantly. With much love in my heart, stubborn to a fault, joy to the world, peace on earth, & ((((((((((MANY WONDERFUL SISTERLY HUGGGGSSSS)))))))))), your little terrified den sister, Barbie

This is another harsh , crude reality.
Certain people viciously attacked and killed
thousands of our innocents, and as a result
many of their innocent ones are being hurt and killed.
They've created, commenced a war ...we're faced obligated
to fight. if we don't, lord only knows what we'll lose.
this is isn't to say that these images don't shake my existence.
it does! What do we do?
thought provoking to the max.,!

The innocents are always the victims in the untold story of man's inhumanity to man. I am enjoying your works C and want to thank you for your reviews of my poetry. A poem that I wrote entitled 'Children of the Barrios' may resonate with you as well.

War is totally and completely unnecessary!!!! There are kinder, more humanitarian and more merciful ways of solving this world's problems. The trouble is, many wish to be all important and destroy children and innocents in their fight for their illusionary power. War belongs to egoists and insecure power mongers. This is so well written - so very moving...thank you.

Ugh. I don't know Scott Thompson but I apologize for him. What kind of life would the boy have under dictatorship? One with his family, I assume.

You have talent and I salute you. But I don't necessarily agree with your view of the subject. War is horrible, but what kind of life was the little boy and his family living in before the war began? Death and torture by a Madman dictator is what. War was and is unfortunately necessary sometimes.
