War Again
Again,
we are at war, again without congressional approval. Our dictator just makes a nod,
and our war machine goes into action. This sort of war does not involve ground
troops and so seems more sanitary for our side. Jets, guided missiles and
drones: pilots rarely see who they kill. But kill they do. I oppose war unless we have little
choice. The Buddha Way does not oppose self-defense.
Still,
it is always a terrible choice to kill. Our dictator has never served, has
never had to engage in combat. He dodged the draft multiple times. What does he
know but a life of ease and wealthy privilege? Yet he unleashes the most
powerful killing machine the world has ever seen without the authority to do
so. This, among many things, makes him less a president and more a dangerous
dictator.
Plainly,
he should be removed from office.
