To Be Continued
what shall i write today? shall i tell you i am confident, feeling down, inspired, or sullen?
should i tell you that victory is near and that there is no fear? perhaps.
but i am asked all too much, when it will be over, when will this war end. when will be able to stand in some sort of victorious manner..........
and i have no answer,
not because i don't believe it isn't going to happen, but because i have a grasp of history.
even after a victory over the 'boola, it will be seen in a historical text a hundred years from now as only a battle within a greater fight.
perhaps you think i wax poetic, that i enjoy this mood, but know that i simply believe i understand what is coming. this is not a hallucination i am suffering from but a logical thought deduced from what i have learned.
we may indeed beat the 'boola, we may cause them much in the way of harm, but it will all be for naught if we do not have a legitimate plan to deal with iran.
this is why i don't write everyday, why i don't give some type of statistical evidence about gains and losses won or suffered by the israeli people.
life as i have written before is more complicated than a five minute newscast.
we are not a mere film strip to be scene by the world and something that doesn't exist afterwards. we are not entertainment.
we have the unfortunate task of living within history as it occurs. as the players within we must have a stomach for consequences that others may no longer have.
we may have to witness terrible bloodshed, suffer immense injury........we must be willing to kill also.
