There will NEVER be "peace" in this world and all in the name of my God or YOUR God?!? IS oil another name for what we worship? I just don't know...
As far as the protests go, I do see a difference. At least they aren't spitting on our soldiers and calling them baby killers...yet. They did say after it broke up, many went over to another interest group. You know, there ARE career protesters...
I too wonder if this will be WWlll.
Calling up the reserves- I think I have to agree with KSig RC. We have an attorney friend and the casheir at the neighborhood market going. They are wonderful people who I worry about because I know they are more a reflection of civilian life than seasoned soldiers.
We say they are brave. We say their families are as well. But then, is it bravery if you have no choice in the matter? Is it not rather the more honorable, fulfillment of a "duty"? How many young BOYS actually joined thinking- let's duke it out or nuke it out? (I'm getting so upset I want to cry)
If my son had to fight, I would NOT be brave,I would be angry-angry at the WORLD. I would NEED to see proof-I would NEED to know WHAT my son is risking his life for. Asking us to "trust" in our leaders' judgement is too much when there are so many "agendas" floating around-the economy-oil-world bank-to name a few. All this war rhetoric babbled from the hill and tired cliche's just don't cut it.
GOD BLESS AND KEEP OUR SONS AND DAUGHTERS SAFE FROM THE ENEMY- WHOEVER IT MAY BE

Maybe against the war, but I would never call these soldiers baby killer, maybe bush, cheney, rumsfield, and rice, but not the soldier, as long as they are within the rule and regulation.
And JAM, sometime the enemy is closer then u think. And that enemy is apathy.
