I am numb. I have watched this whole thing live. Today, I fear, marks the beginning of something I have prayed never to have to see again. Comments like "make a crater" which is understandable, will only lend fuel to a terrible fire. Listen people, take time...........pray with all your might. War is a terrible evil. But today the first shots have been fired. Make a crater, and you make a nest which will incubate the eggs of a very long conflict, a very long tragedy. We must respond, we must hunt down, in a very surgical way, those responsible. But we must also, if we are wise, determine what would cause a people to be so desperate as to take this step. What are the conditions that caused a people, whomever they are, to take a step which will surely lead to their destruction. If we only react with anger we are doomed to see the children, all of our children, lead down a very sad path. I have seen it before, even participated in it. Please God, guide us now.

I can feel the cries of the lost in the very depths of my soul. What a terrible ache

I am very afraid for what is coming.
