School of the Americas
Terrorism returns the way policy does—
through side doors, under new names.
Pressure applied elsewhere.
Results observed from a far.
Called the weapon of the weak,
that flatters the strong.
Cheap, portable, deniable.
travels well.
USA, Russia, Cuba, Mexico, China, Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Afghanistan, Iran, Somalia, Palestine, Saudi Arabia, Peru, Chile, Panama, Venezuela, etc.—
usual suspects,
nothing learned,
instruction never moves north.
Violence earns attention.
Attention erodes memory,
replaced by fascination,

The world is not.
We study the fire.
We never ask who struck the match.
