Well, let's hope the innocents get out. However, as any conflict like this begins, I still think it's important to pray that no innocents are hurt. My original posting regarding this was just to remind folks that this is not a party---it's a serious event. I get tired of the MTV approach to things, which treats this like a damned video game. Call me an old fuddy-duddy. There's a reason that they say "War is Hell."
I know what you're saying, just chalk it up to American bravado. What else is there to do, as we sit here at keyboards waiting and praying?
