E’ trange

I find it strange that a nation, a people, would let its “leaders”toy

with the idea of war  with Russians, Chinese or for that matter Persians.

How do you consent to war with people you do not know, people that

you make no attempt to understand?

These people are fierce, proud warriors, do you not know at least that.

the Japanese discovered  that in China, the Germans discovered that

in Russia and the Iraqis discovered that in Iran, and while I’m on the

subject  of warriors may I include Afghanistanis and Vietnamese.

The Russians discovered and the Americans are discovering that

in Afghanistan and Americans still living and over fifty-thousand long

dead discovered that in Vietnam.
