What are the “appropriate” reasons for war? “I should welcome almost any war, for I think this country needs one.” –Teddy Roosevelt, 1897 “This fraud (war in Iraq) will go down in history alongside the Spanish-American War. Saddam’s fictitious weapons will increasingly seem as phony a casus belli as the destruction the Maine in Havana harbor.” –The Washington Post, May 2003

Guantanamera One of last poems by Jose Marti: I am a truthful man from this land of palm trees; before dying I want to share these poems of my soul. My verses are light green, but they are also flaming red. My poems are a wounded fawn seeking refuge in the forest I cultivate a rose in June and in January, for the sincere friend who gives me his hand And for the cruel one who would tear out this heart with which I live. I do not cultivate thistles nor nettles, I cultivate a white rose AIJLJ8
