How we see war

[BeautifulBurnout]

I think it is vital we see war for what it is, all the disgusting, gruesome bloodiness of it all, because without it, it is just some sanitised advertising slogan for whichever side people are rooting for - I have no doubt that the US media has been even better than the Beeb at showing many shots of Kassam missile trails coming out of Gaza and Israeli planes flying over, like it is all some glorified video game.

The more people see real war images, the more revolted they will be by it - the mass protests against the attack on Gaza are only the beginning. Who knows, maybe in fifty or a hundred years wars will, like slavery, be consigned to history as something vile people did to one another but which must never be repeated.

I have a dream....
