Ma'am;... It just goes to show that the death of one is a tragedy, and the death's of twenty-six is just a tragedy times twenty-six... Do you understand that??? Do you understand that while we shot star shells into the sky, those allies of ours went house to house killing anything that moved, men, women, horses, pregnant mothers, and children... There is a Lebanese man that lives near me, and he said he helped to bury the dead, and he said that it was terrible, and dangerous, since the Israelis booby trapped many of the dead, knowing that the Muslims, like the Jews, want their dead buried, quickly... But, what a trifle is a life??? Have you never wished some one dead??? Has there never been one you would have killed as easily as looking at 'em??? That is the way bullets fly, as you look... But have you lost no one you cared for??? Can you love, and if you can; do you know what it is like to lose your love??? Affection grows but slowly for most, though with children it is born fully formed...Have you ever lost a child???Have you ever lost a parent, a brother or a sister??? When we count the dead; when we find the dead so thick we must count them, then life and death both lose their meaning... Sooner or later those people; those human beings only become so many numbers, statistics sooner forgotten than gathered...Maybe some you know, knows their names... Maybe some one you know once cared for them, for the fogotten dead...Maybe the dead cry out for justice, but only those who loved them can hear...Maybe all the rest, those who minimize their murders into insignificance stuff up their ears with hate, or nonsense, and count themselves on judgement day with the demons... I don't know... I have had my fill of murderers justiifying murder... Shouldn't the world justify murder for them???Should they not lay the facts, -all the facts before God and the Public???Should there not be some forensic examination, some collection of evidence??? How many were shot in the back??? How many were executed???How many were shot with their hands up???We are like those mothers who plead the cause of their sons, saying: my baby is not a murderer... Whose guilt are they trying to expiate??? Whose guilt are you trying to expiate??? I will have none of it... I don't believe your numbers, and if you can count the uncounted dead I want no part of you because you are damned by your own mouth... Murder is murder is murder, not better done by friends than enemies, making all guilty who do not lift a hand to stop it, demanding justice, for ever and ever and ever... Thanks....Sweeney
