“When I was small my mother warned me never to approach a sick animal. The dying ones, she said, are the deadliest of all. That hasn’t been my experience; most of the dying creatures I’ve encountered just want a quiet place to pass their final hours. The source of my mother’s anxiety was closer to home than she had yet to recognize, but her fear was palpable. She was haunted by the vision of her curly-haired child falling prey to some sickly, snarling, yellow-eyed feral creature with nothing left to lose. That’s a mother’s worst nightmare.

Dozens of schoolchildren were reported dead in ‘one of two strikes that appear to have hit schools since US and Israeli warplanes launched their attack on Iran around 10:00 a.m. local time’.” [editor’s note: Fog of war … Still being determined whether the deaths may have come from a misguided Iranian missile – SAT] [editor’s note: Do the people whose kids were murdered by one of two murderous regimes REALLY care which murderous regime it was? – TLK] (03/03/26)
