Great note, Alexandra (yet again!). Also loved your piece in the Globe and Mail today! Some decent discussion in the comments section, but still shows there's much more to go towards being civil to each other is concerned.

What we can do is make sure that everyone knows that war is a racket. Poor people make rich people richer with their blood and the rich still consider them a lower class. This is the truth of war. All guts, no glory, all hat, no cattle. The profiteer deserves the soldier’s pay. And the world has entered the Anthropocene era. Conventional war and is obsolete. Now there are no winners, only losers. Baghdad was bought for oil and that’s all that was wanted. The museums were looted. No one goes there for vacation. And it doesn’t even fly the victor’s flag.
