I can understand a certain fatalism about it, like Kurt Vonnegut's friend telling him that writing a anti-war book is like writing an anti-glacier book. But to to say, "there have always been wars," and to suggest that that mitigates the circumstances of deceit that surrounded the beginning of the current one is. . . is. . . I don't even know how one can engage that sort of argument. It's like saying, "Oh, I know he killed her, but there have always been murders." It's beyond the realm of any sort intelligent, rational, discussion.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6623432.post-1149351628432175032006-06-03T12:20:00.000-04:002006-06-03T12:20:00.000-04:00Ooof..
