Recently, I met a woman who lived near Hickman Field on Oahu when the Japs bombed it. She wasn't evacuated for four months after the bombings so she had to stay on the base during that time as she was still a small child. She lived in fear that every night when she went to bed she would wake to the sound of bombs dropping and would experience the panic she lived through on that horrible morning. Everyone of her friends lost a family member that morning.She stands today in defiance of all that wage war for she knows it's horror first hand. The bombs return frequently for the children in Iraq. Can you imagine how these poor innocent Iraqi families must feel? Everynight the bombs come back and someone dies............maybe someone they know and love. I can only imagine what it's like to hear the gunshots and explosions while you are huddled in your home trying to calm your children and hope to God the devastation somehow will pass you by. And today we bombed a Mosque during morning prayer. Over 40 people died in the blast as they prayed, probably for peace and the protection of their loved ones........things we all hope for. What would Americans think if their local church were bombed during a Sunday service? How many men would pledge to fight to their death to bring revenge to the victims of the bombing? The public outcry would be thunderous. A new wave of terrorists was born today and they are not unlike the men of America that would fight to avenge their dead. The violent cycle continues.
