We are going to war,

We are going to war, well not us in particular, but our military is for us. I am scared. After Sept 11th I feared what life would be like for my son. Things have changed so much in our world since that dreadful day. I have an aching heart for our soldiers and their families. I have a fear that one day, one day soon perhaps, that we will be fighting on our on soil. Today every noise I heard I feared that today would be the day. If Bin Laden and his allies could do so much as harm as was done on Sept 11th what is to stop them from having an army already on our soil that we dont know about. Dean says thats why we have homeland defense. We’ve only had this security issue for a year now, whose to say we werent looking sooner when the ground plans for this war were being planned by our overseas enemies. Sure I watch too many war movies, but we didnt think Sept 11th was possible until it happened. I am scared. For my family for my sons family when he grows up and for future generations. The world is changing and with it it seems we are getting farther and farther from peace. Today I joked that Saddam should just grow up and be a man. How can someone willingly risk his families and friends lives for something that could potentially kill us all one day. War sucks. the way the world is changing sucks. I want my son to grow up in a better place, I pray that what these soldiers do in the next few days, weeks, years makes that possible. I pray that the soldiers fight for what they believe and that God forgive them for the pain they cause our fellow man, enemy or not, we are all God’s children. I do not agree w/ Saddam but the people being held under his dictatorship have no control over what he does and due to his actions or lack thereof they are now being put in harms way for another persons sins. God forgive us all and spare the lives of many despite the raging war. Please pray for our soldiers and their families and for the unfortunate families who live in Baghdad and the surrounding areas of war. Let this war be the beginning of their freedom for years to come.
