Dear poetand knowit:

You are probably right. My poem was rather straight forward, no doubt. Part of the satirical part was in the reference to----For all "good men"------. Paradox-----good men war is bad, etc.

Anyway I do agree with your assessment of thw war, it seems And yes, I have read at least a portion of "The policy statement." And in my opinion it is absolutely arrogant----In fact I see it as pitiful! WE HAVE BECOME ROME!!! And given that possibility, what might that portend for us? And unfortunately, all of this may well mean several pre-emptive strikes.

And one more thing. Is it possible to spell Iraq as in OIL

Doug?
