A neighbor of mine, Hrag Vartanian, writes today in his blog about the NYT’s Nicholas Kristof’s Iraq Poetry Contest. One entry that particularly moved him was by a fourth grader from the South Bronx whose father apparently was killed in Iraq. I wonder what young Raphael’s peers will think of this war and this president when they grow up and begin influencing the historical narrative. At least kids whose fathers died in WWII labored under the delusion that their dad helped saved the world.
