Battle of Gallipoli Sid Shah
Ottoman vs Allies
Why it happened
Many casualties, on both sides
We lost
PANEM ET CIRCENSES (Bread and circus games) No need for gladiators, chariot races, for we watch much better shows: "Afghanistan in flames" or how to stomp the Taliban, then follows "Bombs over Baghdad." For CNN and Fox can always entertain us : ’twas the Showdown with bin Laden ’twas the Showdown with Saddam, with our smart bombs and explosions compliments of Uncle Sam. Now, who should care about the damage, whether willed or just collateral, when our science is aesthetic and we test such clever weapons? Let’s be patriotic, not pathetic – Pathos is for adolescents. War should always be primetime, with few or no commercials. Yes, we love our panem et circenses : our up-dated "lions versus Muslims" show! Alfred de Zayas
