War Drums Beating

I fear that more serious war drums and war intentions are developing in and around the Mideast. Rockets and missiles are being fired across boarders from both sides in and around Gaza. Both sides speak of revenge constantly rather then any kind of negotiated peace. War mongers exist on both sides. It's pretty clear. Both sides have a right to exist and to exist in peace. It's been talked about and fought about for years.

But my greatest fear is that Israel, or at least her current leadership, is preparing for bigger things in this latest conflict. That bigger thing is a preemptive strike on Iran over fears about nuclear weapons. And of course part of the plan is to have the United States support such a strike and in fact complete the work.

More and more of us need to speak out against such foolishness. It isn't right, it makes no sense and it most likely won't work without major sacrifices by the entire world. Peace is hard. It's difficult. It demands justice and reconciliation. We need more people who are tired of war and who are willing to work for peace. More to come.....
