“No Glory in Unjust War”
8/20/2005 11:12:00 AM GMT


“We have been given the things we need to provide all men on the planet with what they need to get by in this world. Why should I not help another human being that needs what I can help them with? I have ignored that for far too long. I have turned my head when the homeless person asks for a little help. I have taken advantage of others when I should have been offering a hand up. I have done things in my life that I am not proud of. <more at link>

1. So many responses that are cold, as if from

hearts that know only a narcissistic world view; they can't see beyond the image of themselves in the mirror.

This article has a timely poignancy that, when read, can only be be viewed as a threat by those so frightened, whose egos need much stoking, that they rail against the sides of the box in which they've placed themselves. I feel sorrow for them.

I'm not religious in any way, but I do believe the spirit of one person, or many together, can alter the course of history, can change the current of the present.

Until those who believe they are so disenfranchised, who must wrap themselves in flag and country, have a life-changing event alter the stream of their daily lives, this nation will remain remain a people of fractured factions. This is all part of the plan, just as the current administration, and those Democrats who claim to represent us, would prefer this jagged landscape of global discord to remain for selfish political gain.

Eventually, one side or the other, pro-peace or pro-war, the roar of the people, will reach a watershed for this active discontent. After the chaos of that moment, there will have to be a lull, a temporary peace. I hope that moment is used wisely.

Meanwhile, I mourn for our nation, our people, and all the innocents who can no longer go on with their lives.

We all have a stake in the future of the United States. We are united in this concept regardless of our diverse cultures and views; We are the nation. -- Whoa_Nelly

2. Whoa.... nice, very very nice.... and thank you for that piece of

yourself... if ever sincerity was put into words.... why can't we have people such as yourself as the top dogs in our government... if only.

3. Maybe there is hope yet

that the sincere will rise and become the positive leaders who can begin the mending of a torn, disparaging and desperate world.

I still believe this "war on terrorism", hourly changing the global political climate, can end soon. Most unfortunately, it won't be soon enough.

4. If you haven't

you should check out "Control Room." It's simply amazing. The reason why there was all this anti-Al Jazeera nonsense was because they told the truth and showed the real images of war and not like Rummy and the gang were saying (liberatiors, flowers, candy). It was a threat to them. Just like McCain, Kerry etc. And they also told the truth about the Saddam ordeal. That was simply amazing to me still.
