Having lost my brother-in-law to an IED in Iraq I find Breakable’s cartoon difficult.
Peter was in bomb disposal and was “just doing his job” but I only want to look that devil in the eyes once.
The sad truth is eliminating this source of conflict will achieve little in the way of reducing war.
Other excuses will be found.
War is the natural state; peace needs constant vigilance and constant resourcefulness.
In the mean time I would far rather focus on all the good we can do than preening ourselves over the harm done by the alternatives.
(and I’m sorry if this makes me unpopular but I include in that dreaming up holier than thou videos about oil spills on the drive to work)
Let’s please be the solution rather than letting this society be just another soldier twisting the knife.
