Missing the point by a million miles
This Rediff columnist (aren’t they the best?) quotes a pacifist song with approval, and then dives headlong into the militarist nonsense he just described as crap:
‘Who is the strongest, who is the best?
Who holds the aces, the east or the west?
This is the crap our children are learning….’
So sang former Pink Floyd frontman Roger Waters in his solo album Radio KAOS
Let’s face it, we are neither the strongest, nor the best.
Nor do we hold all the aces.
But does that mean we fold our hands and wait for deliverance?
That is precisely what we seem to be doing in this so-called peace process which we are pursuing with our neighbor.
