The Fever of Patriotism

Too often, when mankind is struck with the fever of patriotism, we forget that- stripped of this patriotism- war is the worship of the necrophilic. That is to say, that war is the worship of death. We must strive to remember that these soldiers are only the parish and that the religious clerics who led them to this slaughter of our collective humanity must be the ones held accountable. We must not seek peace in the Middle East. Such rhetoric has proved ineffective for millenea. Instead, we must seek to love and to be loved. I doubt there is a soul on this planet that can do so from either side of a gun.
