Grateful for the preliminary news out of Darfur that a peace agreement has been accepted between the factions. Now for a movie for how the world stood by and did nothing while atrocities happened? I know that there's been work within the U.N. to impact this country, though. It's a hard call ... when do you let countries work out their own struggles, when do you step in? I think the time to step in was getting closer at hand; hopefully, now the frightened people there can be resettled into their lives. Yet, there will always be the memory ....

In Iraq, a British helicopter went down, and the crowds that shot it down there (they are against occupation) cheered. Four died. News like this makes me wonder about whether our involvement has been worth it. Iran believes so now that their primary enemy is gone. The world is confusing; I'm just sorry for the loss of lives and the political causes of hatred and power which causes it to happen.

I mourn the loss of lives with you. I wish I could believe in the hope of a peaceful world, but I think we're called to a life of war. Sad...

Yes, true; however, fighting against war could mean peace?

hopefully ...
