Krig \u00e4r fruktansv\u00e4rt. Jag kom att t\u00e4nka p\u00e5 krig genom sommarprogrammet i P1 med Annika \u00d6stberg<\/strong>, mer k\u00e4nd som livstidsf\u00e5ngen fr\u00e5n USA<\/strong> som fick komma hem.

Yeah, come on all of you, big strong men,
\nUncle Sam needs your help again.
\nHe’s got himself in a terrible jam
\nWay down yonder in Vietnam
\nSo put down your books and pick up a gun,
\nWe’re gonna have a whole lotta fun.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

And it’s one, two, three,
\nWhat are we fighting for ?
\nDon’t ask me, I don’t give a damn,
\nNext stop is Vietnam;
\nAnd it’s five, six, seven,
\nOpen up the pearly gates,
\nWell there ain’t no time to wonder why,
\nWhoopee! we’re all gonna die.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Well, come on generals, let’s move fast;
\nYour big chance has come at last.
\nGotta go out and get those reds \u2014
\nThe only good commie is the one who’s dead
\nAnd you know that peace can only be won
\nWhen we’ve blown ’em all to kingdom come.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

And it’s one, two, three…<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Well, come on Wall Street, don’t move slow,
\nWhy man, this is war au-go-go.
\nThere’s plenty good money to be made
\nBy supplying the Army with the tools of the trade,
\nJust hope and pray that if they drop the bomb,
\nThey drop it on the Viet Cong.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

And it’s one, two, three…
\n<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Well, come on mothers throughout the land,
\nPack your boys off to Vietnam.
\nCome on fathers, don’t hesitate,
\nSend ’em off before it’s too late.
\nBe the first one on your block
\nTo have your boy come home in a box.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

And it’s one, two, three,
\nWhat are we fighting for ?
\nDon’t ask me, I don’t give a damn,
\nNext stop is Vietnam;
\nAnd it’s five, six, seven,
\nOpen up the pearly gates,
\nWell there ain’t no time to wonder why,
\nWhoopee! we’re all gonna die.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Krig \u00e4r idiotisk, vansinnigt, sjukt – med inga vinnare – bara en m\u00e4ngd f\u00f6rlorare. Och till den stora skaran f\u00f6rlorare h\u00f6r sj\u00e4lvklart lokalbefolkningen, de civila. N\u00e5gra galna ledare trycker p\u00e5 knappen och snart fylls kyrkog\u00e5rdarna med kors efter kors efter kors…<\/p>\n

Men krig finns ocks\u00e5 p\u00e5 n\u00e4rmare h\u00e5ll. H\u00e4r hemma, i vardagen. Br\u00e5k, trams, hat, sjuka f\u00f6rm\u00f6rkade sinnen. Rasism, hatbrott, diskriminering, svartsjuka – ja, t o m avundsjuka startar sm\u00e5krig.<\/p>\n

R\u00e4dsla skapar krig. R\u00e4dsla f\u00f6r det som k\u00e4nns annorlunda, f\u00f6r det som vi inte \u00e4r vana vid. Men maktgalenskap \u00e4r en annan faktor. Mycket vill ha mer, heter det. Presidenten, kungen, milit\u00e4rbossen, juntaledaren, g\u00e4ngledaren – ger order – med f\u00f6r\u00f6dande effekter.<\/p>\n

Att sluta kriga kr\u00e4ver f\u00f6rnuft. Att aldrig starta ett krig kr\u00e4ver t\u00e5lmodighet, f\u00f6rdragsamhet, tolerans, k\u00e4nsla, medm\u00e4nsklighet, v\u00e4rme,\u00a0 f\u00f6rst\u00e5else och f\u00f6rl\u00e5telse. Att hellre tala \u00e4n att sl\u00e5ss.
\nAnnika \u00d6stberg som fick mig att t\u00e4nka p\u00e5 krig har suttit 28 \u00e5r i amerikanskt f\u00e4ngelse f\u00f6r mord. Mord som hon inte beg\u00e5tt men varit delaktig i. 28 \u00e5r av sitt liv – \u00e4nd\u00e5 finns det svenskar som tycker att hon inte sonat sitt brott tillr\u00e4ckligt. Var finns\u00a0 f\u00f6rst\u00e5elsen, f\u00f6rl\u00e5telsen, f\u00f6rst\u00e5ndet?<\/p>\n

\u00c4r det s\u00e5 sv\u00e5rt? \u00c4r vi s\u00e5 ointelligenta och besinningsl\u00f6sa att det \u00e4r l\u00e4ttare att ta till n\u00e4varna? Intoleranta och h\u00e4mndlystna, – ropar p\u00e5 h\u00e5rdare tag, l\u00e4ngre straff, l\u00e5ngt bortom f\u00f6rl\u00e5telse och f\u00f6rsoning.<\/p>\n

Icke! Det finns inget gott i det. Vi m\u00e5ste tro p\u00e5 det goda. Det goda och det kloka. Alla – f\u00f6r varandra, f\u00f6r v\u00e5r jord.<\/p>\n

”\u00c4lska din n\u00e4sta s\u00e5som dig sj\u00e4lv…”<\/em><\/p>\n
