Sand storm Driven by the wind Choking the sight from the land It favors no one Tanks Lumbering monsters Heavy metal dinosaurs make the earth rumble Cruise missles Flying low and fast quided by electronic brains unstopable death Stealth planes Like ghostly shadows deadly moths dropping smart death The new birds of prey Ground troops Soft against hard death They are the ones who will bleed war never changes paladin ....a knight without armor [This message has been edited by paladin (03-27-2003 06:00 PM).] |

(tears fall down my cheeks) And more balkanization will just keep occuring until we end war and finally enact a movement to peace! (sad sigh) Certainly war will free no one, this is so very painfully said, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Robert, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

Stealth planes Like ghostly shadows deadly moths dropping smart death The new birds of prey **** It's good to read your words again, Paladin. You always find the true coffin nails, and cut through the layers of romantic war bull. |

Just heard tonight that the Brits lost to the Turks in WWI, in a region where a clash is likely between Iraqi regulars and coalition forces...and so the saga of intermittent crises continues...all the name of 'peace' nonetheless. |

Robert, not to be repetative of others who have responded, but sadly, 'war never changes.' And this one in Iraq is against an enemy that doesn't play fair. Hugs for peace. Marti Few are those who see with their own eyes and feel with their own hearts. A.Einstein |
