Powerful imagery, Mike. Thanks for this.

It all makes me ask if any wars had to be fought. It's easy to look back and second guess. Perhaps we should apply our concern to the present. If there is to be another pointless war - soon - created out of thin air by a lunatic, what should happen? How do we stop a mad man?

thanks for your thoughts Bill. Churchill is reported to have said that the American Civil War was probably the only war that really needed to be fought....I guess up to WWII...he also said, "When you're going through Hell...keep going" We are going through hell...stopping mad men has historically not been easy or quick...but it does happen. I've got something else to take care of right now... will come back to this later
