Cry Havoc, Let Loose The Dogs Of War

Daily Draw: Tarot of the III Millennium ~ Knight of Swords

This is just the deck for a woman in black depression. Well, better thoughts out than in...Weapons of mass destruction. Reds under the beds. Damn Yankees. Dirty Commies. Filthy Bosch. Southern Slavers. There has and always will be someone fanning the winds of war with  battle cries designed by the equivalent of Halliburton's marketing team. As with religion, fear is always the underlying motivator to get the great unwashed to run in a herd and lay their necks on the line.

I'm reminded by this card war is about oil and before that real estate. And what has it gained for the men and women who fight or are overcome on all sides? Nada. There is obviously no oil under Darfur or Somalia or some big white country would have already been and gone shouting some great idiot war cry to cover the theft.

"Do not cry havoc, where you should but hunt with modest warrant." ~ William Shakespeare Coriolanus,1607
