Bill Moyers ended his Journal Friday as follows: This week, the congressional budget office said spending on the first war, the war in Iraq could eventually cost almost two trillion dollars compared to the administration's original estimate of no more than 50 billion. The president now says he needs another 200 billion and analysts say some of these funds conceivably can be used for air strikes against Iran . All of which reminds me of the famous French naturalist, Henri Fabre, who was intrigued by a species of worms, known as processional caterpillars, because they march single file in long unbroken lines. One day he came upon a line of them in the forest. He gathered them up, put them around the rim of a flower pot, and then started them walking. Round and round they went, like a tiny merry-go-round, hour after hour. They kept going for days and even though food was near at hand, they never strayed from their well-worn path. In the end, every one of them starved to death on an endless march to nowhere.
