!War! What is good for? Nothing.

Just thinking about good people who are missed. Thank you Edwin Starr for your song.

"Borders may separate countries.
But with each death in war.
A flame of life is lost."




I was the first USA citizen in one year to visit the graves of 20,000 USA Soldiers lost in one battle in WW2.

























My good friend who was killed in Iraq with his children in 2004.

Author's Note

I'm tire of war. I was raised with the Vietnam war. My children have the Bush's war. I pray for peace. Time for all people to demand the end to war. I know the 1.2 trillion dollar spend on war could create jobs and help education.

I have thought much about it man. The govts of the world can wage no war without men willing to fight. The paranoia of having to defend ourselves is a great evil. There must be civil disobedience and the acceptance of a law of humanity that supercedes the laws of panels of men. Charity to all in need is the way to get there.

Very personal.

Love this. War is good for nothing indeed.

great message....

shooting other people for the "sake of peace" is something i look down upon as well

so true, so real if all of us, called HUMAN beeings realize what is meaning of war and what is peace, and what is Nature, we would live in p a r a d i s e forever!
I wish that from my heart!

You are so right. My best friend is going into the Nazy soon. I don't encourage it but it is his decision and he wants to so I can't stop him. I wish that I didn't even have to even think about the fact that he is going to be in danger.........

"A flame of life is lost." is my favourite line in your work. in death; by referring to life as a flame it marks an emblem to how significant ones life is to another. the light cast from that flame of ones life. a man's life; a flame. casting light over his loved ones; his children, wife, friends and siblings.

those three lines; expressing your disdain for war at the expense of life. it's touching. in addition to this, i am sorry for your loss.

You express really good points. The only true purpose for war is to kill people. For example the Korean war. Many lifes were list and other then debt and population, did anything change. NO they have the same bounderies as they do from before the war. I compleatly agree with you.
