"Cry havoc, and let slip the dogs of war"

A phrase used by Shakespeare. Following is from Julius Caesar.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

ANTONY:
"Blood and destruction shall be so in use
And dreadful objects so familiar
That mothers shall but smile when they behold
Their infants quarter'd with the hands of war;
All pity choked with custom of fell deeds:
And Caesar's spirit, ranging for revenge,
With Ate by his side come hot from hell,
Shall in these confines with a monarch's voice
Cry 'Havoc,' and let slip the dogs of war;
That this foul deed shall smell above the earth
With carrion men, groaning for burial."

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Is this where we are now? Will we be devoured by the "dogs of war". If you care, you must speak.
