Yesterday I took a walk with my six year old Granddaughter to some of the monuments in Washington.When we were near the Vietnam memorial she asked”why are all those names on the walls?” It was very difficult to explain what happened there, and what the wall commemorates.After my feeble attempts to explain the concept of war she said” I don’t think war is good”>Ironic in those simple words there is a nugget of wisdom that many political leaders through the ages don’t seem to understand.
