... and the poem sums it up beautifully, @brian. What strikes me particularly is that neither man really loves his country, neither has any love for his fellow human. They are both deeply traumatized, incredibly selfish humans. Neither would put themselves through any degree of hardship they ask their countrymen to endure. Both resort to low-level name-calling and insults, and both have an uncanny ability to sniff out their opponents, Achille's heel. I wish for a world where leaders inspire unity, the greater good, and give even two small sh*ts about the incredible species that share this Lebensraum with us.
