George's War

It seems not only is Bush willing to go pick a fight, but he's ready to go it alone.

I have 20 year old twin sons and my perspective on war hasn't changed in 30 years. But with "cannon fodder" aged sons, voicing my opinions against war takes on a whole new meaning.

I can't bear the thought of them going off to fight in some foreign country so fat-cat lawyers and accountants can drive a 10 MPG SUV.

It IS about economics. And from what I've seen, Bush has done a horrible job... taking over a healthy economy and turning it into crap in a matter of a couple of years.

So George, if you want a fight, I suggest you start at home.

I really feel for you. Really I do. My dear brother was K.I.A. in Vietnam 40 years ago!! Our mother never really got over loosing her first born. She did loved him so, and still does. He was my big brother, and I still feel him watching over me. But damn-it...that's not good enough!! I want Harold here, NOW with us!!!

When my Godson got married this fall, we were all sitting with our fingers crossed and prayers on our lips that he, would not be called. Thank God he wasn't. But I know that many were...I prayed for all those nameless faces also. One side of my family 'lucked' out, and was not called. The other side sent four young men. Again, thank God they came home seemingly unharmed. But what if something sets them off in 10 or 20 years?

I have always maintained that the leaders of the two countries that are at odds, should be locked in a padded room. Let them work it out, or let the best one win!!! This form of reasoning may very well have it's place. If they think that they may very well loose the fight so to speak, I don't think that they will be so fast to come out shooting!

Please, my prayers and good wishes I send to your sons, and to the many thousands of other unknowns. And yes, there is an Iranian family that lost their sons, or whole families! I pray
for them also. Bin Laden involved another country (Afganistan)in his EVIL war. The Afganiaistans didn't kick him out or imprison him. Now they have paid for it. But they are
mothers and fathers and siblings. They love them as we love ours. That should never be taken away from them.

Peace and blessings for your sons and for all others.

In Gods Name;
Trudi
