I'm not sure if I'm the lone wolf or if we as a country are in a complete state of denial.
It appears, a certain leader (George W. Bush) of our country has lost his conscience. Can we stop him?
I only hope that our children have a country left when he is removed from power.
Why, are we not , as a people, as a government, addressing this?
I am disturbed by reading about all the innocent soldiers who have given their lives and lost because of erroneous reason s attributed to terrorism & more popularly "Weapons of Mass Destruction" which seems to be confused with "Egomaniac Promoting American Destruction".
How long do we think the world will let this charade continue? The line between East and West has been drawn.
In the name of our children please pray for peace and remember the futility involved in lives lost due to a cause that doesn't hold water...This is not a religious plea, but rather a plea to use our energy to initiate change.
Forget Global Warming, Forget the crazy man in North Korea - if we don't stop what's happening in the Middle East. We won't have a globe to warm or protect. Recognize the significance of this madness.
Pray for PEACE.

Amen. I'm not sure he ever had a conscience. Either way, the destruction cannot continue. If nothing else, we need to work together, ALL of us to batlle climate change before it elimates all of us. Wars contribute untold damage to the ecosystem as well as the horrendous cost in lives lost and ruined. We have to learn to understand that simple solutions are often the most elegant, effcetive and best. We have to learn to understand why people believe the way they do and what their life experience and circumstances are before we condemn them for not agreeing with us. We don;t have to agree, we just have to learn to agree to disagree in a way that is not deadly to any side in a situation.
Consensus is a powerful thing but it can never be reached until all parties are open to hearing and trying to really understand the other's position and then to find a solution that everyone can live with. It means finding common ground and the need to consider the possibility that we could both/all be wrong about whatever it is. It doesn't mean abandoning your position or changing someone else's mind. It means finding a nonvioloent solution that everyone can live with. Perhaps some day it willo be possible to live this way. Probably not in our lifetimes. In the meantime we need to remember Ghandhi's admonition to be the change we wish to see in the world.
Let there be peace on earth, and let it begin with me.
