How do you and I decide to kill that man?
How do we decide to spend our money to kill that man?
How do we decide to spend the blood of our youth to kill that man?
How do we decide to kill his duckling?
How do we decide to kill his puppy?
How do we decide to kill his daughter?
How do we decide to kill his daughter's baby?

How did we decide to kill that Korean baby?
How did we decide to kill that Panamanian duck?
How do we decide to kill that Iraqi puppy?
How did we decide to kill that Afghan man?
How did we decide ti kill that Laotian son?
How did we decide to kill the Cambodian wife?

How do we decide to to pay others to kill men in other places?
How do we handle our responsibility as citizens of  this republic?
How do we reconcile our words about life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness with out decision to kill so much, to kill so many, to kill so often?

Who says that we kill without deciding1
