In our government
many a human
egotistical peacock
is merged in his soul with
a chickenhawk
Footnote:
WBUR's On Point discussed Afghanistan for an hour
on Jan 7, 2019. A show guest quoted "There's an old joke that God invented war so that Americans could learn geography."
Many know that Winston Churchill was a classist and racist who bombed millions of civilians.
Whatever you think of Winston Churchill, here is what he wrote at age 23 about Afghanistan, the graveyard of empires (UK, Soviet Union, US, etc) “Financially it is ruinous. Morally it is wicked. Militarily it is an open question, and politically it is a blunder.”
