Every spring daffodils announce renewal…the earth has been dormant during winter but is coming alive as the sun moves towards our northern axis.
There is no comparable renewal for the young people - born here or born elsewhere - killed in politically staged wars. Not in my life time for those killed in Korea, or Vietnam, nor for those killed more recently in Iraq.
Though, perhaps this spring, 5 years after we “liberated” Iraq, a renewal of our citizens’ voices for peace will spring up…will the flowers bloom?
