Interesting blog. I dont agree with you but you gave a powerful perspective on things. But I think the main problems of War, Is the reasons why we go to War in the first place? If going to War is really gonna solve the problems we are facing? and Why the people in charge would never want to have their kids, grandkids, nieces or nephews fight in the War but want your kids to fight for them?
This was an interesting piece Sophia. I'm not from the US, but I understand how anyone could feel this way. Hopefully peace will eventually come our way.
stomg and evocative, Sophia. This one touches me.
Profound Sophia!!
