26 years ago, John Lennon stepped out of his apartment house in NYC and was gunned down by an assassin who sought fame and notoriety. It was a sad day for the world as one of the brightest creative flames of the 20th century was extinguished.
Today, it is fitting that someone remember him by singing his song "Give Peace a Chance". Perhaps soon, it may be sung in Iraq where the civil war we facilitated rages in ever increasing intensity. If the factions that were held in check by the brutal reign of Saddam could take a few moments and try to form a unity government, Iraq might have a "chance".
The Iraq Study Group has offered a possible pathway towards peace, and if Bush will take the recommended steps there might be at least a chance of peace. If he does nothing, which is his standard operating style, there will be more death to both Iraqi’s and American soldiers.
Take out the record player, Mr. Bush and play that old song of John’s. Remember the days when you smoked pot and were mellower. What the heck, why not try peace?
