| Posted by Michelle Angelini on 11/27/04 at 05:44 PM Very timely and well said. A slap in the face with the cold light of reality about who's really running our lives. Like the world today is one giant chess board and the pieces are being moved by unseen hands - only we know who they are. |

| Posted by Quentin S Clingerman on 11/28/04 at 03:11 AM Very dramatic appeal for NO WAR! I think the issues are usually most complex--not just a matter of politicians decisions. Mankind can't seem to get their act together. It is a theological and spiritual issue I firmly believe. |

| Posted by Junemarie Roldan on 07/06/06 at 09:29 PM We are all pawns when men plan war. Considering the nature of the beast, can it be any different?
I can only hope, I can only wish. |

| Posted by Maria Francesca on 07/26/08 at 01:02 PM this is (unfortunately) still a timely piece of work...and a very well crafted one. Adding to faves. |
| Posted by Anastasia Selby on 10/25/08 at 02:27 AM Reading this, while our country is enmeshed in so much negativity...very hard-hitting. |
| Posted by Joan Serratelli on 03/17/09 at 06:43 PM Unfortunately, this piece is STILL timely. The war rages on and the body count is still going up. My only question is: WHY ARE WE THERE? The last 4 lines are killer- very poerful write!! |
