My Dad was also a soldier in WWII and we used to "talk politics" alot. He wasn't a "warmonger" type and although he fought with dignity he saw first hand the damage war can do and felt a deep remorse, even though they say it was a "good" and "necessary" war (I can see that), but no war is "good". War is ugly. It seems no one really wins, the loser's anger just festers until the next war. But anyway, forgive me for going so long. My Dad was a gentle, humanitarian, peaceful and I was raised a "liberal Democrat", an animal that aquired a bad name in the last couple of decades. I wish my Dad's principles of freedom and hard work would come back. In other words, we do have to work for our freedom and keep a vigilance so no one takes it away, not terrorists or George Bush. To do this you don't need to go to war, you need to treat others with dignity, if we could change the world...Patriciahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01046027258273332119noreply@blogger.com
