Unobtainable Peace

Whilst landward We strive for the unobtainable peace On the oceans reigns the universal cannibalism of the sea Quite like the quest by Captain Ahab for Moby Dick seemed fancifully lofty so are the images of the killing of Libya,s Colonel Khadafy be wary of overzealous military in pursuit of hegemony "I,d strike the sun if it insulted me" is not a coherent Foreign Policy We have survived fascism, the Holocaust, the threat of nuclear annihilation and terrorism with moral distinction The more we foster hate traipse foreign plains with a cowboys gait the faster it will lead to our extinction
