Why, after choosing to witness the images of horror coming out of Gaza, it is this article that makes me cry I don't know. Perhaps it is the reminder, for me a non-believer of the biblical injunction: “They shall beat their swords into ploughshares, and their spears into pruning hooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war anymore." I am reminded of growing up with the images of the Vietnam war and the longing for peace then.
