“I am sick and tired of war. Its glory is all moonshine.
\nIt is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard
\nthe shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry out for blood,
\nfor vengeance, for desolation. War is Hell.”
\n William Tecumseh Sherman.<\/p>\n
The ruler of this country[so he thinks] has twice in less than
\ntwo years threatened another nation with death and destruction.
\nI say “ruler” as opposed to the title that has been bestowed
\nupon him by this nation because in my opinion he is not worthy
\nof that distinction.
\nThey say his words are cheap. I say that may be true; but more
\nto the point I say his very essence is cheap.
\nAnd when I say “cheap”, I mean “Contemptible because of lack
\nof any fine, lofty, or redeeming qualities”, as defined by Webster’s.
\nAnd when I say “essence”, I mean “The permanent as contrasted
\nwith the accidental element of being”, as defined by Webster’s.
