I for one will not dance in the streets, nor even in the privacy of my home. I will be sorry for casualties among US forces, and I will be equally sorry for casualties against those they face. Killing is not a pleasant business. It is a fact of life, more so in war. Sometimes innocents get caught in the crossfire. When the reports of innocent deaths come across the wire, I will shake my head and think to myself, this is a sad thing; I will hope the best for the innocents who suffer losses amongst family and friends. It won't hurt me the way this has, I will distance myself from it in that way. But you will not see me celebrate deaths in the shameful manner I've witnessed recently.
No, I don't blame the children. No, I don't even blame the adults, they were taught the same ways when they were children themselves. That doesn't make it right. The cycle must be broken. How, I don't have an answer to that question. Maybe noone does. That may be the biggest tragedy here. All of these cultures and subcultures, religious groups and political sectors, that have lived for generation upon generation knowing nothing but hate for those they percieve to be the enemy. Opressed and opressor, murderer and victim, and when an outsider steps in to try to break the cycle, it becomes even more volatile. Can we allow genocide? Can we stop it? At what expense?
I don't know...it's a mad, mad world. |
