the boys i mean
so, this weekend being a chance to relax of sorts...I've turned my attention once again to war poetry, for no good reason. today ee commings comed up twice, via a song of olaf and hat hung upon a tit. thusly i returned to owen and skipped over hardy. perhaps I will tackle the greeks this week's evenings.
it does make me sad again for this huge instability we have wrought across many lands.
i am so disheartened by the fact that age seems to be the way we frame the injustice of war when in fact it is ultimately greed that seems to be the driving force.
my thought for the day, aside from general disgust, is this: GW Bush has managed to make Vietnam seem more like a tactical blunder than the horrific strategic failure that our Iraq endeavor is likely to become. How sad it is that any war can be trivialized simply by scale of strategic impact when the costs are so huge on a human scale.
