RIGHT OREN!! Of course you are right! But you can't simply shrug them (i.e. wars) off so dismissively, as if further discussion of the subject is so distasteful as to only befit barbarians! Wars cause one hellova lot more damage to the moral & ethical fabric of the participants than does the body count. That's what I tried to say in the trilogy, but it appears I'm talking to myself |

Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
