War is nigh. Only its beginning is still a puzzle for everyone concerned. Who, what, where, by what means, why, how, and when are the seven remaining questions.

Addendum (June 24, 2019)

In the language of my ancestors, the seven questions sound so much better than in English: quis, quid, ubi, quibis auxiliis, cur, quo modo, et quando. According to the ancient standards of jurisprudence, lawyers were required to present their cases to judges by offering answers to these straightforward questions (“The Seven Questions,” June 6, 2001). Whence my haiku, of course. Alas, yet another joke on vaunted jurisprudence!
