Well that – makes no sense whatsoever! I guess they will call is the Syrian Conflict – Vietnam was never declared a war either – just a “conflict” – Disgusting!

the same in Germany, our troops, killing in Afghanistan, have not been in a war – but what else? They do not dare to use the word “war”, because then the population could have the idea, to resist …

I tried to comment on the Huffington Post, but couldn’t because I’m not a Facebook or anything else member. There are alternatives to the word war. Diplomats are creative with military actions, interventions, resolutions and armed response. I think it all comes to about the same thing though.
Say, that City of New Orleans sounds good.

so you heard my guitar play at
but I stopped to play guitar – making music I sometimes feel like Condoleezza Rice: she bought new shoes in Manhattan, when New Orleans got over-flooded – sometimes to write seems more important …

Don’t compare yourself to that woman! You are doing good things on your blog. I am sure you are doing good things in your “real” life too. Both the writing and the music are positive.
OK. Sometimes you’re more involved with one activity and the other will be neglected for a while, but (as many of my fictional characters like to say) “keep playing that country music!”

“Word-hiding” strategy–that’s a good one!! I’m with Ms Kathleen–the number of casualties from Vietnam makes the term “conflict” quite insulting.

Family lore has it that my father volunteered for the 19th General Army Hospital without discussing it with his bride, my mother. While I was not to be part of the family until 1958, I have the letters and artifacts from that time. Dad started out riding the wave of US patriotism; his letters home bearing a tone of vigor and resolve. Into the second and third year, and as he saw the impact of war upon the enlisted and civilians, the letters changed. My father changed. A kind of bitterness replaced the fervor…the true nature of war sat squarely upon him. How does one come to terms with this?
Will we ever become peacemakers?

I suspect the semantics of the current negotiations also fall under the umbrella of fobbing for time in the pursuit to rationalise the inevitable, whether that be action or inaction. . . .

It’s never a war for those who give order to drop bombs on a country…. Just a war for the civilians under the bombs
