BACK TO THE FUTURE

BACK IN THE BRASH DAYS, I USED TO POSE THIS HYPOTHETICAL QUESTION.

'IF YOU TOOK A PARTY FULL OF MARRIED COUPLES, AND ERASED THEIR MARRIAGES FROM THEIR MEMORY BANKS, WOULD THEY STILL GRAVITATE TO, AND MARRY THE SAME PEOPLE WHO BECAME THEIR SPOUSE.'

IT WAS TOO DANGEROUS TO ANSWER IN THE NEGATIVE, BUT WAS A PROVOCATIVE THOUGHT.

I ASK THE SAME QUESTION ABOUT AMERICA AND ITS WARS.

WITH THE DEATH , PAIN AND CONSEQUENCES WE AND OTHERS ENDURED, KNOWING ALL WE NOW KNOW, WOULD WE GO BACK IN TIME AND FIGHT THE SAME WARS?

WORLD WAR TWO ?
VIETNAM?
IRAQ?

I SEE TWO NO'S AND ONE YES.

Uh....Dunno...I'd probably be attracted to the person wearing WHITE...regardless of gender! Seriously, I've never read about or heard about a President bemoaning the actual loss of life that a war cost. Macnamara claimed 20 years after Vietnam that the war "Couldn't be won" but no remorse about the 56,000 names on the wall down in D.C.

P.S. Oh by the way....the price of gas just reached $2.65 per gal.
Guess what? The price of gas in Iraq? $.05 per gallon!

MY HUNCH IS THAT THE PEOPLE IN OUR COUNTRY WOULD DO WORLD WAR 2 AGAIN.

VIETNAM, WITH ALL THE LOSS OF LIFE, WOUNDED, WASTE OF RESOURCES, HUMILIATION, AND ULTIMATE POINTLESSNESS WOULD NOT BE REPLAYED.

NOW, ABOUT IRAQ...
IS IT DYING IN VAIN
OR LYING IN VAIN?

SOME PEOPLE ARE TALKING.
GAS HAS BECOME THE NEW REAL ESTATE ACROSS DINNER TABLES.
SOON, WE'LL HAVE TO START HEATING UP THOSE DINNING ROOMS.
THAT'S WHEN EVERYONE WILL START TALKING NOTICE.

Hey ya know the youth of this country has to be the ones to stop this fucking war! I realize that there's no draft...not yet anyway...but there is an immoral war being waged!
