On this day in 2003

March 16 2003

Spanish premier Jose Maria Aznar has said that a war in Iraq would be legal. The US president, George Bush, said what he thought too. In Memoriam, this day in 1998. On this day last year, a baby girl is born. A mother thinks of naming her Nouria.

On the eve of death, life. At the close, dawn draws dusk behind it, a shroud without sentience. The sun unforgiving, the moon impartial. Life taken, life given, in vane.
