In my name, they have done these things.

This government has sullied my name as it has sullied the flag, using the pretext of a war on terror to justify the slaughter of those who did not attack us on 9-11, no matter how assiduously our government struggled to make a 9-11/Iraq connection.

Even now they struggle to justify the Bush doctrine. They tell us how many millions we liberated with our bombs, our bullets, and our mortar rounds.

They don't tell you that many were liberated, as slaves in this country were once liberated before emancipation, at the hands of death.

And those hands carry our American flag.

Very excellent. Thanks

Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing. To keep our faces toward change and behave like free spirits in the presence of fate is strength undefeatable.

I have come into this world to see this:
the sword drop from men's hands even at the height
of their arc of anger
because we have finally realized there is just one flesh to wound
and it is His - the Christ's, our
Beloved's.
