a mother mourns.
her son died in combat today.
it was her son.
her son
will not be coming home again.
her son
will not see his family grow up.
her son
will not produce grandchildren.
her son.
her baby boy.

it was her son.

a father cries.
his daughter was injured in the war.
it was his daughter.
his daughter
will be forever disabled.
his daughter
will have to learn to live with pain.
his daughter
will never be the same.
his daughter.
his little girl.

it is his daughter.

it is our sons and daughters
or our fathers and mothers
that are wounded and killed
no matter where they are.

They declared the war. We have to live with it or live in fear. The threat must be dealt with. You cannot have peace with those who in the end demand your death. I agree with the pain behind your write, the only problem is, they do not want co-existence with us. Theirs is not a peaceful way.

War was started by them...we must defend ourselves...
Should we just sit here and wait for them to come
and kill all our families....how can anyone stroke
what safi says....she is totally hating america..
and many here are saying to her...yes...great writing
safi...keep it up....we are here for punishement by
you.....no one wants war...I dont want war...I dont
want them coming here and killing my family...I get
down on my knees and thank Almighty God for our service
men who go there and kill them before they kill us....

this is heartwrenching; a powerful, hardhitting write! war is hell on ALL involved, not just those engaged in combat! you capture the anguish and helplessness we ALL feel when we know that we have soldiers putting their lives on the line for freedom in ANY land!

(((HUGS))) and much love, your twin, karen lynn. :( >tears <

No, Karla, their nationality absolutely does NOT matter. How many bombs before we finally realise that war is never the answer?

Nice sentiments, my dear.
