“Americans will remember Monday, April 15, 2013 as a day in which unspeakable violence took the lives of three people and wounded at least 153 after bombs exploded at the Boston Marathon finish line. Thousands of miles away, Iraqis will remember this same Monday as a day in which violence claimed the lives of at least 31 people and over 200 injured after multiple car bombs detonated in Iraq’s capital, Baghdad, and several other areas. Afghans will remember this Monday as a day in which a ghastly roadside bomb in the Zabul province killed seven and wounded four other human beings. These are the headlines, only for this particular Monday, and we can be sure some lost lives have yet to be reported.”

“The people who brought you to the very cusp of nuclear war in the Cold War want the US to keep doing so. Well, some of them do. Others don’t. The American people need to think about this and insist on a solution. We should be moving past those insane risks toward a world that is sustainable, not just a bluff-and-hope flirtation with The End.”

“Each time I leave the Metro on the way to my office I read the following lines from The Wound Dresser, by Walt Whitman, which are incised on the station facade:
Thus in silence in dreams’ projections,
Returning, resuming, I thread my way through the hospitals,
The hurt and wounded I pacify with soothing hand,
I sit by the restless all the dark night, some are so young,
Some suffer so much, I recall the experience sweet and sad…”
