A Doom & Bloom war ?

                  It's was nonsense to say that NBC reporter Bloom's

    death of a cardiac embolism was not combat related. How many American

    soldiers over there in Baghdad in cramped vehicles in 100 degree

    heat - forgetting to drink enough fresh ,cold water -and very, every,

    STRESSED OUT - are also in great danger of this kind of sudden death

    -coming like a thief in the night ? How many poor Iraqi civilians

    are doomed to  NON-COMBAT deaths that really have everything to do

    with SIEGE WARFARE ?

               I am neither a flag waver nor a peacnik in this conflict.

    I hope the United Nations can get a handle on the coming human

    catastrophe over there. To be sure, the world won't miss Saddam

    Hussein. But history also plays cruel jokes on the victors.

                I note that Mr. Bloom was born in 1963 - the year JFK

    - who symbolized youth and energy - and HOPE -if only the illusion

    of it - was assassinated. 

                   Perhaps Bloom was no more a candidate for sainthood

    - a fierce competitor, they say - than JFK. But still he was too

    wonderfully young and alive to die.

                  Somebody said that real business of  America is

    show business.  Dying young was what made James Dean an immortal

    legend. A friend of mine once said that God was  ENERGY. Like

    JFK , Bloom had it in abundance - the LIFE_FORCE .

               THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES ! 

            But truly our young gods are ONLY HUMAN !
