Pete Seeger
Protect Them! Defend Them! End The Madness In our World!
And silence permeates our country. Nor any voice of mourning except the choirs, family and friends.
America’s military industrial complex and many of her national leaders have found a way to wage war in a manner that leaves the majority of Americans directly unaffected by its horrors (and ignorant of the negative indirect effects on their common good). The absence of a draft, the use of high tech, impersonal killing machines (such as drones), and the failure of the mainstream media to adequately cover such a war result in a citizenry totally oblivious to the devastation that we are inflicting on foreign lands and their peoples and to the misery that such a war produces for that relatively small sub-set of Americans who are its foot soldiers. Shame on us for tolerating such a condition and for our silence.The anti-war movement currently is, for all practical purposes, defunct. It is possible that a peace movement rising from such a clueless and careless population cannot sustain itself effectively against endless war. Our streets are empty, our protestors are few. What, if anything, will awaken our outrage? The O'Leary
Governments constantly choose between telling lies and fighting wars, with the end result always being the same. One will always lead to the other.
— Thomas Jefferson
Shall We, Let rest another child, whose innocence falls beneath Hate and Fear, Shall We, Trust in Neda’s hope, or Shall We, see that man raised this hand, Shall We, Honor all The Fallen, or Shall We wait for thousands more to be taken by our hand, Shall We, Stand With Neda or Shall We, stand with man…
“Maybe one day when we remember that we are animals, we will stop killing each other like human beings.”
“All war is anathema, unnecessary war is sacrilege.”
“I am more the patriot today as I march in protest and dissent than when I wore the uniform of a United States Marine. Nor am I less the warrior, armed with a bullhorn rather than an automatic weapon.”
“Memorial Day is the occasion this nation sets aside to remember, to grieve, and to honor those who chose or were compelled to sacrifice their lives in behalf of a cause they believed or were told was just. Those of us who have known war hear the cries of the dying forever echo in our minds and suffer the pain and loss each day of our lives. We need no holiday to remind us.”
