Skeletons at the Feast - call to understand our need today.

I recommend reading Skeletons at the Feast. Read it to understand the reality of war and the destruction this dark side and insanity of leadership brings with it for all peoples on earth. It is time to look inside and build a new world.
I do not view this story as history, a rehash of the holocaust, or another WWII story.
I view the book as a reminder of the war we are involved in now. Does anyone comprehend the horror of war other than the people that must live and die in it? What happened in 1944 and 1945 is being repeated in the Middle East.
We as Americans today are crumbling under the costs of insane leadership. We must choose to eat or buy gas. We are beginning to feel the economic fall of our country under the burden of an insane and cruel war for the benefit of insane leadership and the power lust and greed of a few.
The Germans, Jews, Prisoners of War, and Russians are being played out yet again. This time there are the American, Muslims, Sunnis, and camps. The brutality of soldiers on either side continues, the horrors of death and destruction, the horrors of brutality and bestiality of mankind, and suffering of innocent families is real. It is not some story we read and tsk about things in the past. We pompously condemn the Germans and Russians as animals without conscience. We condemn the Germans for closing their eyes to the insanity of their leader.
I have my eyes open as I read this book and see the past repeated. I see the insanity of our leaders. I feel the terror and sadness of a family I have corresponded with in Iraq. This family like the others was a prosperous middle class people that had to abandon their house, friends, and wealth to survive. They are Sunnis fleeing to Syria and trying desperately to find work and survive. There are prisoners of war tortured by Americans and Muslims not for information, but the thrill of bestiality. The dark nature of man is on both sides. There is excitement to control and degrade others.
I know a woman from Nicaragua who as a child was in the middle of political war in her country. This woman as a child had an automatic weapon held to her head. What other horrors happened to others I do not know. This is the reality of war. It is not just the death of soldiers and camps, it includes the suffering of innocents.
No my fellow readers, this is a story of reality. This is a story of today. This is a story of what war is regardless of any time period.
WWII fact will match the fact of the Korean conflict, the Vietnam Conflict, Desert Storm, our current Iraq conflict, and yes more wars to come. Some day you just might be in the middle of the terror.
