Spare me the platitudes. I've heard them all. I don't care to hear them, not now.
- Oh sure, they're going there so that they (whoever they may be) don't come to fight in our land. -
- They died there so that we can have liberty here. They're doing it for love of the homeland. They're freedom fighters. -
And so on, and so forth.
As wives, mothers, friends, teachers, neighbors, lovers, none of these words will bring back the ones we loved. Not even if you ramble on and on with words I agree with, such as: "they were sent to die for Bush and his oil friends, they fought an unjust war."
It still hurts. It sears the heart at its core. Nothing you say will bring our loved ones back. Nothing.
