Bombing Beirut

A week into yet another war, and the horror just keeps coming. Here is another beautiful photo of a decidedly unbeautiful thing, courtesy CNN.com.
Some people, with more moral clarity than me, may be able to not see the beauty in the horror, but I can’t help seeing it. Besides, there are no moral absolutes, and it’s the illusion that such absolutes exist as truth that fuels so much hatred and violence in the name of upholding those absolutes. And that’s really sickening, if you think about it, because it pretty much means we’re all doomed.
