Another Picture of War

A man in a suit and a tie makes a telephone call.  When he hangs up, he calls it a day, putting any loose files inside his desk and then locking it.  He leaves his office and grabs a drink with a colleague.  He gets home in time to tuck his kids into bed and read them a Dr. Seuss story.  Later his wife asks him how his day was and he says, "Oh, nothing out of the ordinary."  They make quiet love and then go to sleep.

Above a distant country a plane drops a bomb that kills two hundred people whom the pilot will never meet.
