hey, how about Mel Gibson makes this movie?


Look upon our works, ye mighty, and despair.

I'm guessing they didn't have time to dice for his cloak. There were other prisoners.

Words fail.

One needs be an old testament prophet to do full justice to this horror. Emma

I don't even have any words left. Saying "I am so sorry" just doesn't work anymore.

Is this what it feels like to be completely impotent?

I really wish I believed in hell sometimes.

Matthew 25:41-45

Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:
For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:
I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.
Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?
Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did [it] not to one of the least of these, ye did [it] not to me.

"Mercy, mercy!"
Why didn't we hear it?
Mercy, mercy.
Why did we read it
Buried on the last page
Of our morning papers?

The plan was drafted,
Drafted in secret.
Gunboats met the red tide,
Driven to the rum trade
For the army that they created.
But the bullets were bought by us, it was dollars that paid them.

Please forgive us.
We don't know what was done.
Please forgive us.
We don't know what was done
In our name.

There'll be more trials like this
In mercenary heydays,
When they're so apt to wrap themselves up
In the stripes and stars and find that
They are able
To call themselves heroes
And to justify murder
By their fighters for freedom.

Please forgive us.
We don't know what was done.
Please forgive us,
We didn't know....
Could you ever forgive us?
I don't know
How you could.

I know this is no consolation....

Could you ever believe that we didn't know?
Please forgive us, we didn't know....
I wouldn't blame you if you never could,
And you never will.

That picture brought this whole war into focus for me, in a way that nothing yet had.
