Bush to Restate Terror Strategy2002 Doctrine of Preemptive War To Be Reaffirmed
DOES it matter?—losing your legs?... | |
For people will always be kind, | |
And you need not show that you mind | |
When the others come in after hunting | |
To gobble their muffins and eggs. | |
|
Does it matter?—losing your sight?... | |
There’s such splendid work for the blind; | |
And people will always be kind, | |
As you sit on the terrace remembering | |
And turning your face to the light. | |
|
Do they matter?—those dreams from the pit?... | |
You can drink and forget and be glad, | |
And people won’t say that you’re mad; | |
For they’ll know you’ve fought for your country | |
And no one will worry a bit. |
--Siegfried Sassoon, 1918
