it was really truthful. it is not just tru for middle east wars, but to all the wars in human history, it is so strange how a human like us can stabb and kill us, how they might have thought, killing is not that easy.unfortunately, many misunderstandings, and deceptions, and lies were made in order to cause someone here and there kill someone else. some were obliged to go by name of defence , some were obliged to fight back, as the mark of self-defence, or protecting homefrom foes and invaders.
I want to tell atrue story happened in Iraq in 2003-2004, after Saddam Hussein, an Iraqi family were going through an american checkpoint in Tkrit/Iraq, and the officer held his hand to as a sign of stop, but the family thought that it was a sign of greeting, because helding the hand up in Iraq means you are welcome, so they went through without stopping, and the american soldiers thought they were terrorists so they fired at them and killed all. that is not humanity, and we don't know whom to be blamed. thank you very much for sharing it was a great peiece.

When things like that happen you have a split second to make a decision and if you're wrong someone ends up dead. It'sa hard thing for people who never went tthrough it to understand. Thanks for stopping by. I appreciate it

well spoken coming from a great deal of experience my friend...
This is reall a touching piece, truthful in so many ways behind many lies the powerful people try to hide..
Time after time there's been war for some convoluted reason or another and what have they achieved, if they were that successful, we'd have lived in peace for centuries. But ..
There have been so many wars based on lies in Man's history. So many rehearsals for the final war, too .. and when it comes, we'll go up in a crowd of smoke apart - of course, from the ones that know in advance but end up deep in the hell they're created for themselves.
Meantime, dear souls like you live in the live hell of their memories. And yes, i can vent.
This isn't a sad poem, it's a tragedy.. and the picture speaks a saga of words.
I write just for the hell of it
A way to spend some time
Blurting out in cyber space
Whatever's on my mind
Maybe funny maybe tragic
Emotional and raw
