A poem from KOSOVO WAR POETRY by David Roberts
This little epigram carries a heavy warning.
The peace movement has been set back fifty years. War fighting, for the first time in
half a century is now an acceptable approach to international relations as far as
NATO nations are concerned. This means increased arms spending, a new arms
race, more wars. Mankind enters the twenty-first century in greater danger than we
have ever been in before.

Tempting War
The nature of war is different now.
When the Western Federation flies in
only the losing nation suffers losses,
and the Federation will always win.
