I'm tired.

Hey Folks,
True confession here. I am finished. No more reports of Iraqi killings. I will not report on Afghanistan. I have decided that I need to transition and move my energy towards something else. My heart will always be with those Iraqi's who's lives have been everything from destroyed to displaced, to irrevocably changed because of Mr. Bush's push of the green button. If I could apologize for my country, I would. Alas, I cannot apologize for everyone here, because, believe it or not, there are people here who still think that Bush did the right thing. Rather, I can only apologize for what Mr. Bush did. I am sorry. I am SO very sorry. If there was anything I could have done to stop this I would have. No apology will ever be great enough to bring back the dead, wounded, displaced or injured. I will continue to pray for the healing of all those so negatively impacted by the impotency of this man, we used to call our president. I have some hope for the direction that our current President has. At least he is making plans to get troops out of Iraq (Albeit leaving some American presence behind). His target and our hard earned American resources (Even while we are in the depth of huge unemployment and recession) is going to Afghanistan, and to removing of Mr. Bin Ladin. Mr. Obama and the US Military can look high and low, shoot a million missles, and in the end, should the US destroy their target... I should ask you: What will really change? How will we have been improved?

So friends, this is how I must leave this chapter. I want to feel hope, I want to feel peace, but in truth, I cannot. I can only pray for healing, healing for us all. Healing in particular for the Iraqis.

I am going to give some thought to my next blog and continue with that soon.

In the meantime, I wish you everything good.
Have a good day,
wink
