Diaryland is down yet again. It’s supposedly being moved to a new server – but he’s only been saying that for a couple weeks now. sigh. So I am going to type it in word and post it later before I forget what I wanted to say.
So the war has officially started tonight. No surprise there. It truly sickens me. As much as I hoped that we’d not go into war and that Saddam would decide to leave that country – I knew deep down that it would happen.
It’s a reality and a slap in the face. It’s scary, depressing, and most of all angering (is that a word?) I cannot to this day understand why there has to be so much hatred in this world. I mean, what is the point? It seems almost childish to me that because we have better technology than Iraq, they feel the need to bomb us because of it. If a kid at school has nicer shoes than you, are you going to pull out a handgun and blow him away? That solves nothing.
What pushes people to fly massive planes into huge buildings and kill thousands of innocent people? Or what pushes people to bring military aircrafts into an entire country and drop bombs on even more innocent people? Hatred is the biggest prejudice out there.
The reality of all of this is that it IS a reality. I know people who are over there fighting, about to fight, or training to fight. I have friends whose fathers, brothers, cousins..whoever that are being sent off and stationed somewhere far from home, not knowing what the next day could bring. What really scares me is that some guys I go to school with are joining the military this summer and could very well be sent off after training and pushed into battle.
I am really hoping that this childish war lasts only a short time and that people could realize that peace truly is the answer.
I am going to pray for this war and its victims, and maybe you should as well.
