I watched her video.
I am crying ... real tears, a feeling of sadness gripping my chest ...
“All that is left is for the last soldier to die.”
My god, what HAVE we done? There is no undoing of it ... ever.
From
Thoughts on our War in Iraq:
There is no undoing of it..
By Hilding Lindquist
...
We go about our lives
as if it isn’t happening.
To our eternal shame.
It has been done.
It is being done.
It will be done.
There is no undoing of it.
Ever.
