Don't Think Twice, It's All Right

Amazing column by Jimmy Breslin today (thanks to Jeff for bringing it to my attention):

In the Port Authority terminal yesterday, a place I now frequent because I consider it an almost certain battlefield, a woman arriving on the first bus from one of the hinterlands - she didn't stop to let me find where she was from; buses were arriving at once - handed me this reproduction of a Sunday sermon at her church that I print promptly and thus prominently:

GOD IS AN AMERICAN GENERAL

God, in the knowledge of how good and just America is, we ask you to give special help to our brave pilots if any of their bombs blow up a schoolhouse in Iraq. Please make our pilots know that they are not to have some bad feeling just because they kill a lot of children in the schoolhouse. They should feel good that we at least hit something and didn't waste the bomb hitting the ground. If the children get their bellies blown open and they go running around with their hands trying to stuff their intestines back into them, we ask you to make sure the pilots don't have bad reactions about it. On account of we need them to bomb again tomorrow and they have to be prepared to hit a school by accident again.

Go read the whole thing.
