Those are the words of the Rabbi who spoke at the War Memorial in Ottawa today in 90th year of WW1 remembrance. It was a very elaborate ceremony and quite touching. I really enjoyed it. It made me think about a segment on CBC a long time ago that was talking about games. They spoke about how wars were not always faught with guns. There were some leaders that actually faught wars by playing a game of chess with their enemies. What a world I dream where soldiers are trained for combat by learning chess strategies and not physical drill designed at making them run from bombs.
When the Rabbi said those words, I thought, yes, I may not be for the war in Afghanistan but I am for the lives and the good spirit of the people who are there. I decided I wanted to send a letter to a soldier, as I don't know any one fighting there right now personally.
