Opening the Door to Evil

War opens doors to evil. Events transpire in wartime that the human psyche is just not equipped to deal with. Or maybe it’s equipped to deal with it all too well. You do have to figure that our ancestors saw their fair share of blood and guts. But war – this kind of war we’re involved in now. We’re killing people we don’t understand for reasons we don’t understand. It has become so abstracted. A threat to the United States doesn’t mean a threat to the lives and limbs of Americans. Now the threat of economic instability, or a threat to out financial superiority over the rest of the world, constitutes a threat to the United States of America. We are basically involved in a horrifying worldwide version of “King of the Hill,” a kindergartener’s game. There’s only one thing I know about King of the Hill, eventually the king gets toppled. That’s just the way it is.
