A message to the Bush- Blair pact from the Bard of Bengal

posted on Monday, August 25, 2008 08:20 PM

‘If peace is to be anything more than the mere absence of war, it must be founded on the strength of the just and not on the weariness of the weak. The groan of peace is no less ghastly than the howl of war. If then we are to strive for that true peace, in which the satisfaction of one people is not built on the frustration of another, then the average peace-loving citizen of the successful nations of today must extricate himself from the obvious anomaly of wishing for peace whilst sharing in the spoils of war – which exposes his wish to the charge of mere pretence. He must not let himself be bribed on the promise of prosperity and honour and call it patriotism. We cannot, and will not, have peace until we deserve it by paying its full price, which is, that the strong must cease to be greedy and the weak must learn to be bold’.
