I'm sorry!

[SpiceCake]

I'm sorry that there has to be war! It makes my heart break for those who will lose their lives. Innocent people and those who are defending our freedoms.

I'm not a big fan of our president, but I have to trust that his decisions are best. I enjoy a life of free speech, free movement, free enterprise, etc. I am blessed. Some say this war is unncessary. You have that right. I have to ask - why was Iraq building mass murder weapons - to bomb Turkey! I don't think so (and that is my opinion - FWIW). Some say it is a personal vendetta - maybe. Would Saddam keep his personal vendetta to George Sr. I don't think so. (Again, my opinion). Strike first or be struck. Remember that fist fight you got into as a kid?

War is human nature. As long as there have been people on this earth, there has been war. Look at this board - Lit members seem to be waging war on each other. It is sad. But we have war because we do not agree and so conflict arises without resolution - hence war begins.

I do not like war, and as my son gets ready to leave for the Army I become frightened. He is not. He says that he wants to serve his country and protect those that mean the most - even with his life. I admire him and am very proud of him. Not because he may go to war, but because he loves his family enough to go to war.

Peace!

Let's hope it will be over in a few days as they say ....

People can change ... war has been part of humanity for more then a while but ones we had hair all over our body ... things change

I hope that all our relatives and friend come back - I will say a silent prayer for your son when I next think about my friend over there.

I wish I could believe that, Zmey! War and body hair are not quite the same. One is genetic, one is inevitible.

 

[Zmey]

Violence is genetic ...some day human race will grow beyond it

 

[SpiceCake]

I wish I had your faith - but people will always feel the need to defend and people will die as a result.

But, someday is not here; it is now and this mom loves her son to no end!
