In a bombed out house A broken doll in the waste A scared child crying Those who have never been in a war cry loudest for war. paladin ....a knight without armor [This message has been edited by paladin (01-18-2003 12:32 PM).] |

I utterly cannot not imagine that scene, or, to have to be there and look at it and hear it, and have to be part of it.....they who are protecting my country.... cannot imagine...The only time I can see what it does is to look at our veteran's, those who make it back home and then watch them being treated worse than most people treat their pet dog. Perhaps if we put uniforms on our "leaders" and let them be on the front line, let them rush the beaches, and let them jump first, we'd be less likely to go to war.... right! Thanks for this minute glimpse of a much larger scene of war.... Warm wishes and God bless you, Pat  ..without surrender, be on good terms with all persons..

(tears fall down my cheeks) All of our children are at risk of having to see the tears and my heart goes out to them all that we think of them all and shield them from the horror! (sad sigh) God Bless You, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Robert, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

War is on the minds of us all, and for those who care not whether the buttons of death are pushed, bah to them! The words "civilized" society are a joke! I'm glad to see that some disagree with this "war". We went from chasing down criminal murderers, to attacking a sleeping beast! |
