I missed March!

I don't always make a newsletter every month, and March was kind of a downer...

As I write this, our nation, the UK and Australia are at war with Iraq. Do I like war? No. No one does. Do I believe what I read and the pictures that I see that Hussein has tortured, murdered his own people? Yes I do. Do I believe that he is somehow connected with Bin Laden and other terrorist? Yes, I do. Do I believe the suspicions that Hussein has weapons of mass destruction and has used it on his own people and had the intention of using it on people of other nations? Yes I do. Do I have a better alternative to the plan of the U.S., U.K. and Australian forces and intelligence? No, I don't. I don't have any answers that will begin to comprehend how such a monster can be allowed to rule and continue, nor do I know what can be done to stop evil. Evil exists all over. Allowing him and others like him, makes peace no better than war. It just lets evil continue until it eventually spreads into your own backyard, such as airplanes falling from the sky at the hand of terrorism. No easy answers, and more than a few questions. May God be with brave soldiers fighting for a cause to rid the world of this evil, and may God be with the innocent Iraqi people, may they know the kinds of freedoms most of us enjoy.

In time of war the first casualty is truth.

It is well that war is so terrible, or we should get too fond of it.

I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones.
 Author: Albert Einstein

War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.

If you want to make peace, you don't talk to your friends. You talk to your enemies.
