Bellevue Parks

I found some shocking artwork last month while visiting the park for the wonderful "Taste of India" celebration. On the middle of the south edge of the park was a new piece of artwork. It was a merrygo-round type piece of military drone aircraft. The plaque next to it stated it brought feelings of "safety, security....etc." I had to explain to my small children these were weapons of war in their park and we quickly moved on. Lt. Colonel John Paul Vann, the most highly respected (by both sides) officer in Vietnam once stated, " This is a political war and it calls for discrimination in killing. The best weapon for killing would be a knife, but I'm afraid we can't do it that way. The worst is an airplane." Well with the development of drones Lt. Colonel Vann must be spinning at very high RPM in his grave as drones are far worse than airplanes. We have turned war into a video game and now the city park in Bellevue wants to celebrate this event. I'm not sure how much money the city got for putting this blight in the park just east of the children's playground but I for one would like to see it removed immediately.
