You Cannot Un-ring a Bell!
During the Congressional hearings when a House committee was discussing the abuse of Iraqi prisoners with Secretary Rumsfeld, a Representative said: “…in Arkansas we have a saying that you cannot un-ring the bell!”
Well, the bell has rung on some of the excesses of the US army in Iraq and there was uproar in the world!
So much damage has been done to the US that cannot be un-done!
So, what do you do? Do you muffle the bell? (Some politicians would love that!)
For a more humane global society we need louder bells that are more sensitive to wrong-doings.
We also need bells that are sensitive to “political” wrong-doings!
