>An article to be read thoughtfully, and if one believes in prayer - prayerfully. Thank you.

You are very welcome. A lot of the people who post here and call me names are totally ignorant of world affairs and the consequences of the foreign policy conducted by virtually all US administrations (especially in the Middle East). They are all just blinded by pure anger and hate right now (which is understandable) wanting to unleash the mighty power of our military against the enemy (who?) and ask questions later. This is not so simple. I think it can be a defining moment in the history of the world, if somehow, I am hoping and praying for, our government can rise up above the revengeful bloodthirsty temptation and use this as a launching pad to make this planet a REAL peaceful place (get ready for lots of pink slips in the militarindustrial arena!), it all starts at the Middle East and our justified perception by almost everyone there that we are the worse kind of bullies and have been for decades. Tuesday they sent us a very strong message, I heard it, you heard it, everyone heard it. Let's hope our leaders heard it.

It felt great to be out there calling two games of soccer with the kids. I did not give any yellow or red cards today<g>
