Huh? Since when is a simple factual observation "cynicism"? The "presidential prayer team" people make absolutely no mention of the victims of this war! Did you read the article, Beccy?

The only other "mass" prayer effort I've looked into - the Prayer Vigil for George Bush on April 1st - focussed on helping the US administration to resolve the conflict according to "greatest good of ALL concerned", not just the Americans.

I often question the value of "prayer vigils" - particularly the karmic consequences of "praying" for other people without their permission - and thus, attempting to interfere with their own free will. That's a spiritual no-no! Nevertheless, I did take part in that one on April 1st. Lot of good that did!

OK, ok, now that WAS cynical! *sigh*
