Being in the minority, he has no other choice. Failing this duty, he sinks into oblivion. Society, on the other hand, has no obligation toward the poet. A majority by definition, society thinks of itself as having other options than reading verses, no matter how well written. Its failure to do so results in its sinking to that level of locution at which society falls easy prey to a demagogue or a tyrant. This is society's own equivalent of oblivion.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25369</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For us it's about family.

These were people who were putting up no resistance, many with no weapons, leaving in cars, trucks, carts, and on foot. The American armed forces bombed one endof the main highway from Kuwait City to Basra, sealing it off andthen bombed the other end of the highway, sealing it off. Theypositioned mechanized artillery units on the hill overlooking thearea and then, both from the air and the land, massacred every livingthing on the road. Fighter bombers, helicopter gunships, and armoredbattalions poured merciless firepower on those trapped in the trafficjams, backed up as much as 20 miles. One U.S. pilot reportedlysaid, It was like shooting fish in a barrel. That fateful stretchof road has since been dubbed the Highway of Death.In a report submitted to the Commission of Inquiry for theInternational War Crimes Tribunal, charges are made that those killedwere Palestinian and Kuwaiti civilians trying to escape the siege ofKuwait City and the return of Kuwaiti armed forces. The report claimsthat no attempt was made by U.S. military command to distinguishbetween military personnel and civilians.*****The Guardian newspaper in the UK has written of the 9000Iraqis killed by the RAF bombs in 1920, one of the 6 timesBritish oil interests have violated the people of Iraq in thelast 86 years.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5441</guid></item></channel></rss>
