I remember having a discussion shortly after 9-11-2001 in shitsngrins backyard about what the U.S. should do. Someone suggested "nothing"- that no course of action could end well. I often think of that conversation when I see the latest death counts from the wars on terror.
This link is from Rev NCD2E but I think even the most secular of us will enjoy considering What if the Amish... were in charge of the war on terror.
And here is a link to a favorite Shel Silverstein Poem. (It was printed under the title "The Generals" in Where the Sidewalk Ends.)
