(((josie))) i know the overloaded feeling well...wrote one back when 9-11 happened, "media overload," we've all felt like that. excellent, emotional write...turn off the t.v. if it gets to be too much...karen does that now (usually when i'm watching it...talk about a war!!). (((HUGS))) and love, karla. :)

Too much war coverage is bad for one's health. I find peace in some tea and classical music. It always seems to help. Many of us know how you feel.

One hell of an overload it is. I don't watch tv anymore. I saw a soldier crying when those poor people got their water back on....he said on the news "Now I know why I am here." This was nice. Teresa

Ted said it! I cried too in thanks to God that our forces have done such a splendid job and hopefully will soon be coming home!Having liberated a people from oppresion the likes of which we, Thank God, have never known, and hopefully never will. Sometimes war is the only way, as unfortunate as that may be. I hate war! I love this country!
