I am worried for my friends down there and my friends who might be called up for emergency military service. It's scary.<BR/><BR/>Tim - it's very complicated. We are all worried for the residents of Sderot and southern Israel who have Hamas rockets raining down on them constantly and have had for years, and to not respond to that doesn't seem right, something had to change - but war is such an awful thing, and it doesn't solve anything either.

I don't know how it feels to live in such a place where you're being pummelled by conflict even by existing. Where to find your place to be? <BR/><BR/>It seems so perplexing to me that the place where religion is so concrete is the place where no peace can be found. Who will come forward with sanity? Who has enough moral integrity to put their hands up and say enough?Laurihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11112458658109887868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32078352.post-56387194742751816922008-12-28T23:58:00.000+00:002008-12-28T23:58:00.000+00:00My thought are with you, Tania and all the innocen...My thought are with you, Tania and all the innocent people caught up in this.
