Oh Beccy, if it was only that simple. It isn't though. The vast majority of the world think that WE are the insane purveyors of weapons of mass destruction. Despite all the jokes about the French being disloyal and stupid, I'm afraid it's George Bush who is seen as a cruel and unfunny joke. We've blackmailed some countries into APPEARING to be our allies, but I think we know how legit that alliance is. Respected Black people seem horrified at what Colin Powell and Condaleesa Rice are condoning, and there's even talk of keeping young American casualties OFF the nightly TV screens by having 'crematoria' over there in the desert!

This is NOT WW II, it is much more like Vietnam, and it is absolutely unneccessary. Sanctions could have a much greater effect. I'm afraid if you're looking for a simple "go git 'em boys" kind of prayer, it won't happen. Perhaps those folks who are only capable of seeing things like this this in the simplest of terms possible will feel that everything's going the way it should, but The prayers and endless singing of "Amazing Grace" will come later.
