War and Karma

War is brutal to the core.
There is no fun for those on the ground,
it might be fun for those watching on TV.

Differences in view points is stark.
Iraqis think they are fighting invasion,
Americans think they have just liberated
them from a dictator. Both sides can't
see each other's view.

North Vietnamese thought they were fighting
another invader, French were the first. For Americans,
it was an element of cold war, saving the world
from domino effect of communism. They did not
know, Vietnam had been fighting the Chinese,
for hundreds of years. There was truly, no wave of
communism.

What could make me believe that they are right
about Iraq today?

You fight and you could lose, like Milosevic, Kladic,
Tojo, and end up a war criminal. You could kill
a hundred thousand people a night, like in Tokyo or Hiroshima
or Nagasaki, and win, and become a hero.
I dunno if Kennedy would have authorized to nuclear bomb Japan.

For every Chinese they killed and tortured in Nanjing,
Japanese lost two in American bombs.
Like it or not, sooner or later, Karma, does catch
up, I beleive. Who's next?
