I've been copying so many of the thoughts I find here to pass on to those of my friends and family, young and not so young, who see military action, retaliation, revenge ("just bomb the hell out of the Middle East") as the only response. It especially saddens my heart to hear these sentiments from the young, yet I hope that it's more naive bravado and fear and pain that causes it than true belief(altho' I wonder where their parents stand)...anyway thank you all for what I knew would be the Mudcatter's response...My wife & I offered "God on Our Side" at an ecumenical prayer service, but were told "not at this time, maybe too raw", but the sentiment of the song was appreciated. We settled on "Song of St. Francis"...a worthy compromise. My step-daughter and I are working on something long-distance. If she gives me the o.k., I'll post it. God bless us all PBB
