The "Vasty Jaws" of War

My class was cancelled this morning, which meant I took off my pants and layed on the futon for about 3 hours while my roommate called me a bitch and threw candy wrappers at me. Well, I took the spare bit of time I had and scanned through the headlines on CNN.com, as usually I skip over them on my homepage, but there was a bright red box that read that 18 children had been killed from an AMERICAN bomb in Iraq, 18 little boys who were just going playing soccer. I mused aloud on the state of the would for a while to no one inparticular, and was reminded of a line in Henry V in which Henry is pleading with Charles to cave in:

"...take mercy on the poor souls for whom this hungry war opens it's vasty jaws..."

America is stuck in a mire of a war with only themselves to blame. And who is taking the brunt of it? Not us. I am so sick of all this I could scream. How many deaths is it going to take? How many families and lives ruined to realize that we are doing NOTHING??? I don't know alot about governments and foreign policy, but I know a lost cause when I see one. That's all.
