A question seldom (if ever) asked
Blogland is certainly well stocked with inquiry and commentary regarding Michael Moore’s latest exercise in deceit and fabrication – Fahrenheit 9/11. This site has expressed views on the Moore issue about one and a half times thus far.
Moore’s often witty con-schemes can sometimes raise valid questions. Although one certainly couldn’t “volunteer to sacrifice” their children to save Fallujah, as Moore simplistically suggests while harassing members of congress, it would be fair to ask just how much one would be willing to sacrifice for a particular war effort.
A novel and perhaps more valid question has been raised by The Tanuki Ramble. My friend John, up the road in Nakajo (Japan) asks, “Would you sacrifice your child for peace?” It sounds like a mere counter-argument, but actually offers up some profound food for thought.
"Who Will You Give?" -- a very insightful and well written commentary at a time when burning issues have too often been reduced to mere soundbites.
