In the New York Times, Dick Cavett's long, stunning op-ed piece, "What My Uncle Knew About War," a rage against the Iraq war and a tribute to his World War II shellshocked uncle. Cavett's ending --- this quote from "Henry V":
"But if the cause be not good, the king himself hath a heavy reckoning to make, when all those legs and arms and heads, chopped off in a battle, shall join together at the latter day and cry all, 'We died at such a place,' ... their wives left poor behind ... their children rawly left. I am afeard there are few die well that die in a battle. ... Now, if these men do not die well, it will be a black matter for the king that led them to it."
