A Deadly Year Ends

Nero fiddled while Rome burned.
Chamberlain claimed “Peace in our time” while Hitler invaded.
Stalin drank and ate while the peasants starved.
Hitler moved imaginary divisions while Germany was being destroyed.
Saddam promised “the mother of all battles” while America invaded.
Bush sought “A new course” while the 3,000th American was killed in his Iraq war.
What a milestone horror to end the year 2006.
