Listened to a the radio and heard comments about why Canada would be a country qualified to help draft the Iraqi constitution. Seems that because Canada is continually dealing with bi-lingualism and multi-culturalism, it is in a unique position of helping to sort out some of the difficulties in a country like Iraq.

All of a sudden my heart swelled with hope. I wondered if it could be possible that out of all the pain and suffering, a new age could be dawning for the people of the middle east. I decided that perhaps the time had come for everyone to put their faith in the people of Iraq and hope for the best. This song kept going through my mind:

People get ready, there's a train a comin'
picking up passengers coast to coast
All you need is faith to hear the diesels a-hummin'
[...] among the loved the most.

People get ready for that train to Jordan
picking up passengers [...]
All you need is faith to hear those diesels a-hummin'
Don't need no ticket, you just thank the Lord

There ain't no room for the hopeless sinner
Who would hurt all mankind just to save his own
Have pity on those whose chances get slimmer
For there's no hiding place among the Kingdom's throne

So people get ready, there's a train a-comin'
don't need no baggage, you just get on board
All you need is faith to hear the diesels a-hummin'
Don't need no ticket, you just thank the Lord
