WAR COMPLEX |
|
| The ‘War Complex’ is not about war. Rather, it is the first baby steps which lead to the ‘war dance’. It is less about conflicting races, politics, religions or philosophies than it is about the irresistible seduction of the ‘big show’. It is peace which is forever in peril of unraveling into unthinkable pain and suffering. It’s history learned yet too often repeated, a tape loop whose beginning is simultaneously vague and familiar. It’s the moment that truth, propaganda, hysteria, patriotism, and reason all compete for attention. The ‘War Complex’ is not just the irony of Catholic versus Protestant, the sorrow in Kosovo or the waste of Crip versus Blood. It is the invitation to each of these deadly dances and the choice to either accept or decline. | |
