WHEN GREY RULES THE DAY!

March 30, 2004

I am seldom looked upon or called an intolerant person. I have compassion for most people and the circumstances they battle. Maybe it’s because I’ve fought in many of those same battles. Maybe it’s because I can relate. But then a world without black or white would be more than a world without zebras.

I am not sure how to label where we are today as a world when people are more afraid of Bush than Saddam, or when humans question which nation is more right (or righteous): U.S. or Iraq. This morning at the Centcom briefing the press hammered the U.S. for the loss of civilian life: but only that caused by the U.S.- not Iraq of course

Saddam is a man and Iraq is a nation that: laughs as living human bodies are thrown into a wood thrasher, smiles are men are decapitated, laughs as women are raped repeatedly before their husbands, shows no emotion as children are tortured before their parents, and without remorse, gasses and kills thousands of his own people. I could go on, but it hurts. We’re seeing even more of the atrocities in the current war.

There is absolutely no comparison between the evil (black) of Saddam Hussein and the good (white) of George Bush. To even think of making comparisons is unconsciencable. I’m sorry Peter Arnett, but your compass has been violated, altered, and seared.

There are wounds that we incur as we live life and I’ve found them to be a “strange kiss of God”, that to good people bring an intimacy which results in healing. Then there’s a kiss of death from very evil powers that effects eternity in the most negative of ways.

It’s becoming a more GREY world, every day, in many ways.
