What can one say when 2500 human beings are lost--to a lost cause? What is the price of these lies? And while the cost of war is dear to all their families and losses, and the debris of war is obvious to hundreds of thousands of Iraqis, what is the "debris of peace"? It's hard to say, or know, since we haven't seen much of it for a very long time.... © 1990, Michael Cook, oil on paper, 20 x 32" (51 x 81cm), collection of the artist.
