War Without End

It seems as though the middle-east has been in turmoil my entire life (actually it has). I often wonder if peace can ever be achieved there. I hope and pray that it can.

Just when we thought Iraq was a total mess, then we have to look to the rest of the region to see what a monumental mess the whole place is. And how much worse it can get.

How and when will it all end? This seems to be turning into a clash of cultures, much like the Crusades. But that was almost a thousand years ago, still we seem to fight on.

I used to think we could just send our troops in there, like the first Gulf War, but now I realize that won't do much good. Now I don't really know whose job it is to straighten that place out. Maybe let the Arab states figure it out, so that whole clash of cultures thing dies down.

We think we have all evolved, after all the wars we have seen throughout history. The war to end all wars, that was almost 100 years ago. Still mankind fights on. We fight over nationalism, religion, and other useless concepts. If people would only realize that we are all part of God's family, we are all together on this road of life, struggling to make it through. We need each other more than we know.

All we are saying...
