joan chittister on iraq

"In Iraq, for every dead U.S. soldier, there are 14 other deaths, 93 percent of them are civilian."

i realize there is a lot more to this quote than meets the eye, but this article is definitely worth thinking about.

i found this great quote on common dreams also...

"Most, who follow some of the wisdom of our holiest, ignore teachings that say we should stop all hostilities, lay down our arms, ask for forgiveness, become accountable, heal those we've harmed and do good." - algie abrams
