Casualities of War

Quote of the Day:
"Dear Lebanese/Palestinian/Arab/Muslim/Christians - Kids,
Die with love. Yours, Israeli Kids"

~ Words written by children on the side of a bomb destined for Lebanon ~

Children learn what they are taught. From infancy, perhaps while they were in the womb, the children who signed the bombs have been taught to hate everything. Everything. Period.

Entropy wins, hatred expands, the killing intensifies and empathy drops into a black hole.

The child next door, the child fleeing with his family, the child in school, the child playing ball in the lot, all dead. Does it matter who they call god? Does it matter what country they are from? In this world it matters. In this world seperation is normal, hatred is normal, and both are worn like badges, proclaiming the line of demarcation.

Who cries for the children? Who cries for the dead and maimed? How do you wake people up to the truth? You can't wake anyone up that does not want to awaken. By the time they do wake up it may be too late. They, themselves, may be causalities of war and wondering why.

From the Israeli children who sign the messages on the bombs to the children in Lebanon or Gaza or Afghanistan or Iraq or the next country on the list who are the victims of those bombs, the world has crossed over the edge into the pit.

If no one speaks out, if no one will see the truth, the pit will be filled with the bodies of the innocents. The people of the earth will have been devoured by hatred.
