You wanted a "Million Mogadishus"
and in Fallujah,
Professor
you got your wish.
But no Special Forces here.
No Rangers,
No Seals,
Only civilians guarding food.
Food destined for other civilians
trapped in desparate circumstances.
I'm sure you looked with glee
on the fruition of your desire,
their vehicle burning
in the wide street,
the street alive,
seething,
men and boys caught up
in the smell of burnng flesh.
You,
Professor,
a witness to their murders,
your compassion locked
in your top desk drawer.
You save your compassion
and guard it closely,
never given except to Rebels,
Freedom Fighters,
Warlords and Terrorists,
bus bombers,
and the killers of grandmothers.
The Mob is more to your liking
than order and restraint,
and in Fallujah you find your ideal,
your private Mogadishu.
I hope you aren't referring to me...Actually I'm sure you aren't. Unfortunately, this does seem to apply to about 70% of the academics I have worked with in my short college experience.
May they have to get a real job and be forced from the skirts of academia!
