Lord hear our prayer.

Please bless the soul of any of our soldiers killed.

Please provide comfort to the families of any of our soldiers killed or wounded.

Please strike down the evil in this world, so that we may focus our energy and efforts on doing good works in your name.

Whoever is behind this (my money is on Glenn Beck or Sarah Palin) needs to reel in those Kosovar Tea Party members. This is simply way over the line. < /sarc>
