Iraq Body Count-Requiem for the Pawns of War

When I created Requiem for the Pawns of War, one of sources of inspiration came from listening to conversations in a doctor's lounge at one of my hospitals. How can so many people who have presumably sworn themselves to helping others be so willing to bomb the undeserving or even fail to question if there ever is a justification for bombing? Now so much time has elapsed that the same parties all sit in front of the tv screen and watch the latest Paris Hilton Crisis without giving a second thought to the people who have their electricity rationed and have to live with their own people bursting into flames and nails which will take out another 10 or 30 of the undeserving. Our own children there have to relive now the lessons from other conflicts and come back home scarred and silent or angry and knotted up as they walk our streets with images carried home from another country like a mental virus waiting to infect their lives.

Let's keep the reasons for this invasion alive and look at what we have been told. The longer it goes on the more we become numb and accustomed to conflict. Can you believe there was a Hundred Years War at one time?

Thanks
