A minute of silence...
Isabelle Hontebeyrie
... for more than 1,000 American soldiers who have died uselessly in Iraq.
Another 60 seconds for the Israeli wall that has been ruled illegal by the International Court of Justice. Any resemblance to persons living or dead, or to the Warsaw ghetto is purely coincidental.
Yet another 120 seconds for again learning that the Iraq war [was] 'waged on false intelligence'.
And the final 120 billion nanoseconds is for American scientists that aren't allowed, under the Bush administration, to express their views and discuss their research with colleagues in other countries.
Frank Herbert once wrote in The Children of Dune, "Atrocity is recognized as such by victim and perpetrator alike [...]. Atrocity has no excuses, no mitigating argument. Atrocity never balances or rectifies the past. Atrocity merely arms the future for more atrocity. It is self-perpetuating upon itself -- a barbarous form of incest. Whoever commits atrocity also commits those future atrocities thus bred."
