Re: that's cool

Hi, Zenotter

No offense taken. I don't offend easily usually!

It seems there are many people that have a different perspective of what's happening with Iraq. Some live with the mentality you describe, that the war in Iraq is justifiable. Others see through the illusion.

Thank you for what you do to help resolve the conflict and right the wrongs.

I, myself, have remained detached, in retrospect. I take responsibility for how I have helped create the situation. I do think it is representative of a collective dynamic in which we all participate, whether we realize or not. I am focusing on what I can do in my home and local environment to create more peace.

I think that's what America 'should' do, fix its own problems at home first. We are spending billions on this war when we have many homeless, hungry, needy people living in our streets.

But then again, it's all reflective our inner states, like I said. We have no problem as a country focusing on such external issues as war and exerting manipulative power because we have the perspective that we have been offended, or that it is our duty to be a world monitor, and almost totally ignoring the inner spiritual crisis this country is in. But that's OK....it's just the route we have decided to follow right now.

That's my take anyway!

Love
Lori
