US military drafts war plans
It takes a second to change a life forever. Out of two billion seconds most of us our given (unless we are victims of war, violence, poverty, or disease that often mars the planet), only one second, or even a fraction of one, is needed to end it.
It takes a single bullet to change life forever. A single bullet is manufactured for the purpose of killing. A rain of bullets can take many lives at once.
It takes a single man to put a stop to a war, a ruler who needs only to say "enough" to cease the needless and pointless deaths of so many who just want to live their lives. Fighting violence with violence incites nothing but violence. It does not bring peace, as Orwell so brilliantly showed.
It takes a village, a nation, a globe, to persuade that man to stop. It takes an unarmed army of voices to halt the warmongering bastards. I hear the beating of the drums of war from my place at the keyboard, but I don't have much faith in human nature these days that anything will ever change.
The US is making war plans, people, as if they expect to be attacked. God help us all.
