It IS always the innocent and yet it should not be! Those that make the innocent suffer should suffer for their sins. A heartfelt write and I am right with you in these sentiments. If only it were not so!
Love Chanti

Very true. However, the enemy also uses his own children to carry out his hidden agenda--again, they are the innocent pawns in war. War is hell for everybody.

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla. :(

Powerfully poignant. These are real people, not movie stunts.

So very sad, so very true...
The roots of war generally can be traced to Greed.
A sorry aspect of our much flawed human condition; our species has much work ahead to change the way we think. War is not a viable option...
I appreciate your candor herein, Sue.
Best,
Carolyn
