Vicious Mindless Violence That Offers Nothing New

Belvedere Jehosophat - Monday, March 24, 2003 - 15:52:16 - print it raw

The trouble with war (aside from the death, destruction and its inherent senselessness) is that there are always innocent parties who suffer needlessly.

I realise that war, unlike long division when there is no remainder, can often be a messy affair. I also realise that during the course of a war mistakes are going to be made. I refer specifically the accidental shooting down of a Royal Air Force plane by a US Patriot missile.

While I can perhaps concede that errors like this are an unfortunate (though probably common) fact of waging war, I find it hard to understand how the US, with their plethora of high tech weapons and gadgetry, may have launched missiles into a completely neutral country.

And now Turkey.

On that note...

Articles and all that more wordy stuff

Where in Kentucky - Mammoth Cave National Park: Monstrously, and seemingly neverending, sitting under the home ground of Colonel Sanders, the world's largest cave system. Yucatan comes nowhere close. Not even Cocklebiddy poses a threat. No comparison. Small holes looking up at a big fat long one. Sadly, with possible age and lack of food, no minotaurs to be found within the lime walls.
Homebrew Diary - Wheatbeer of misery: If what can turn a foul mood around becomes the harbinger of the foul mood, what happens next? Turn it into a learning experience. And when that learning curve makes a late break over the plate, you'd better start to swing away.
Homebrew Diary - Blackrock IPA + Hops: It doesn't take a big man to admit that he drinks. It takes a big man to get wasted and perform impromptu sermons naked from a balcony; raving upon the ravages of the insanity of stata bylaws and noisy offspring in adjoining arpartments...
