>>Hundreds of thousands of innocent people have died and more die each day. A Pakistani acquaintance told me that there are more than a million war widows in Afghanistan.
>>Somehow, this country has to regain its conscience
"It is easier to fight the world than to wrestle with your conscience"
- Matshona Dhliwayo
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
