In Desert Storm, an American War,
the U.S. military put bulldozer blades on its tanks
and buried Iraqi soldiers alive in desert sands.
This deserves more than a footnote in the annals
of human cruelty.
Rachel Corrie, a young American, stood
before an Israeli bulldozer that threatened the home
of a Palestinian family. She refused to give way.
This deserves more than a footnote in the annals
of human courage.
