Speaking Of Morals--A Poem by Stanley Arcieri

(Note: I received this very apropos poem from a friend today via e-mail. Thanks, Stanley)

Dear young people, soldiers,
pulled into the morass of Iraq
should not die
to prove that Bush's Iraq war
is just and right
nor to prove
it is wrong.

Their one-shot unique lives
are precious
beyond all measuring.
Wars of choice, not necessity,
are immoral.

Speaking of morals.
