There is a vast difference between being anti-Zionist and anti-

Study War No More
What lesson can be applied?
When imperialist troops crash down upon a people's pride?
When might as right meets the instinct to survive?
When Midas greed lashes out to destroy? . . .

Bombs will never bring us to agreement.
Words can be used as weapons;
But, if we choose, we can use words
to bring us to peace.

World Stage
Tragedy
endless young lives destroyed
by others' misconstructions of reality
-- wars of all sizes.
There must be a way to rise above,
to appear so large that the wanton destroyers . . .

This Obama-is-a-Muslim smear campaign honestly ought to be attacked on the front of those it most abuses. There is nothing wrong with being Muslim and a US citizen and a US presidential candidate. Of course . . .

Sunshine and puppy dogs
playing with kite tails.
Rain showers and rainbows
on a happy summer day.
No need for dark clouds to
cause a moment's consternation.
No need for tears but to

Ultimately, war is unwinnable.
You cannot coerce hearts and minds.
You can only win property
And that only by killing all

Not in Our Name
Nobody wins in a war
(well, maybe a few financiers of war industries, but)
Not us, not them, not humanity
Not the dead, not the living
Not the yet to be born
Not the land, water, air, . . .

Not with a Bang
Stillness.
Light calmly shines
through bare-branch silhouettes.
Ice, frozen in time
sparkles, giving no reasons.
Still. Cold.
Natural cycles
Out on the battlefield of man

I was just watching a news report in which it was brought up that the US is running out of military personnel to send to Iraq. Thus, it occurred to me that the all volunteer army might have to be . . .

What do we sacrifice?
Who do we put to the knife?
Ishmaels and Isaacs
innocent half-brothers
who could be at puppy play
building healthy bodies and confidence
in the rays of blessing.
What God is . . .

The Enemy
Hiding from bombardments
Thick, black water
No thirst is worth this
indignity
Running through rubble
recently devolved

Extended families

Child of War
My daddy died saving our country.
My mommy cries, so sad and lonely.
But I can see, she's also scared.
Our neighbors spit our names like swears.
I try to be respectful and . . .

Just a little while ago on C-SPAN Stephen Kinzer (New York Times) gave a marvelously cogent and eye-opening history of what has now evolved into the U.S. policy of endless war with the Middle . . .

I don't like Palin, as a person or a candidate, from what I have seen of her. She is so ingenuous, that sparkly "look at me" type whom I could well see honing her skills in beauty pageants. . . .
