Fallujah
I have heard it said that the Iraqi people have got to stand up and do more fighting for themselves. Catch 22 for the people of Iraq. If they embrace us and we leave, they face certain death.
With the recent election, and the US presence a certainty for a time, maybe they will feel more free to express the support for us that they did last time.
Things are heating up in Iraq with at least 14 US soldiers lost and many more injured in the last 2 days. With the troops pushing further into the heart of Fallujah, there is a chance more will not make it back home. My heart and prayers go out to the friends and family members of those "out there". My heart also goes out to the innocent civilians of Fallujah.
I cannot pretend to understand the feelings of a family missing a soldier, or the horror of a war torn homeland.
May Peace come soon.
