Mr. Obama, like you, I have read the beautifully crafted speech that you delivered when accepting the Nobel peace prize. Unlike you, I do not believe what it says. In that speech, you fail to consider too many important facts.

Mr. Obama, in that speech, you remind us of the old concept of a just war.

You fail to consider that every war in history has killed and maimed good, innocent, people.

Every war in history has deprived parents of their children and children of their parents.

Every war in history has deprived non-combatants of their homes and their way of earning a living.

Every war in history has led to the displacement or disenfranchisement of non-combatants.

You must admit that this “collateral damageâ€
