for some reason, I trust her perception more than almost anyone else in developing my limited view of Iraq...and it doesn't sound good at all.

1. it doesn't sound good at all

i am praying for her and her people :cry:

peace

11. I would, but

I too would pray for that courageous woman, but I'm an unreconstructed, unrepentant agnostic and see no sense wasting energy on something which I'm not sure of the efficacy or that any deity would listen.Besides, I believe Jim Morrison's line " you cannot petition the lord with prayer".I'm going to trust to her amply demonstrated courage and self-reliant competence.

3. It's horrible

:( Imagine if they came here and got our important places like the Capitol, Mount Rushmore and places like that. We wouldn't stand for it. Instead of fighting each other they should work together. :(

5. it sounds very scary

prayers to her and hers...

6. "I don’t think I remember things being this tense"

"even not-so-educated Iraqis seem very aware that this is a small part of a bigger, more ominous plan…"

8. Thanks. I try to remember to check for new ones but forget sometimes.

The entry before this one (that is, below) is heart-rending.

Seriously. This is a disaster of world historical importance.
