Don't beat yourself up. The violent death of these loving Christian helpers are tragic in so many ways.

This is war & until the current crisis passes (IGC takes control?) nonessential personnel are a burden for our troops. Prayer works 'long distance ' & God will use humanitarian efforts such as those previously posted on your threads:

"The Marines want to help children like these and improve relations with Iraqis in the 'Sunni Triangle.' " http://www.spiritofamerica.net/req_6/request.html.

So many are doing such good in Iraq, and have been from the beginning. You know that, of course.

Our troops being treated like taxi drivers when they risk so much, and are more often called also by God and following their faith ... I don't see a lot of support for our major battle of good vs. evil in our communities, from our churches.

The casual way they treat God's warriors angered me yesterday, but this thread is not the place, and for that I am sorry.
