I didn't say a thing about MY thoughts/meditations influencing ANYONE else. You've missed the point entirely. When one who believes in the Cosmic/Higher Power or whatever one wishes to call it, and that one gives up their will to that of the Cosmic then one is being open to the possibilities of a greater good for all involved coming about, without the bullshit of "little" wills of such men as the shrub.

I would also remind you both that, metaphysically speaking, there is much more power behind those of good will/intent than those who are not. Having said that, though, a true believer will set aside their will, as I said above, and understand that "there is a purpose to everything under heaven." Not an easy thing to accept or understand when lives are destroyed.

The best I can do is 1) be active in my oppositin to war and, 2) give thanks that peace prevails or something better for the highest good of ALL concerned and let it go, always keeping a positive vision in my mind and heart.

If you want to deride, pick apart, chortle, jack off or whatever, feel free, just don't expect any more response from me.
