Remember the War?
The election is great fun, lipstick and all, you know, but the war goes on, taking our blood and treasure.
Here are some videos that I love, reminding us of what people lose in wars.

Now that we are faced with the possibility of another "war president," we need to remind ourselves where this will lead us.

1. The US is not in a war.
It is an occupation.

4. Maybe Not Yet
With threats to Russia, Iran, and promises to back up Israel whatever they do, etc., we could get into a real war very soon. I do agree that what we have now is not really a "war." A "war" implies a conflict between peers.

Here's another video of "Green Fields of France." It's sung partly in English and partly in German.
