You're right on all those counts, of course.
It's still such a waste of life. Especially the kids. The little ones are the ones that really tear my heart out.
They didn't have a chance.
Here's hoping the meds and supplies that are on their way over there make a huge impact on the number of sick people and kids.

Roger that. So many people are taken for no reason at all. It's the pointlessness of it that staggers the mind so.
Maybe its wrong to get political at a time like this, but I think about the thousand plus good men and women that have died in Iraq... as having died *for* something important. Something significant in the history of the world that really will matter in the decades that lie ahead.
And yet many thousands die for nothing at all. No reason but being at the wrong place at the wrong time. Whether it is a highway accident or a walk on the beach at the wrong time.
