Does God believe in Karma? Hope not.

Good evening Boys and Girls.

Not that many will care about this, but has anyone noticed that some of our most hawkish Republican Senators have FINALLY hopped off the President's Magic Acid Bus?

I've caught some of the hearing today, and I'm heartened by the somber tone these people have been taking, at last realizing that they could no longer tie themselves to this hateful and hurtful policy.

Cynics will say that it is primarily senators up for reelection in '08 that are coming forward. I say? -whatever it takes. There is something to be said for people having the courage of their convictions, but as has been proved time and time again in this very conflict, believing something, doesn't make it so.

"Augmentation." That's the term Ms. Rice uses to describe sending another 21,500 troops back into Iraq. I just did the math. Once the plan is fully implemented 16,000 of the 21,500 will be in Baghdad. That means that a maximum of 4000 more soldiers in the field at any one time. (From what I understand, most patrols are about six hours in duration.) So, that means, that in a city of seven million people...

(let me get the calculator back out) Okay... Got it. We will be adding one person for every 1750 Iraqi citizens.

Yeah. I'm sure the insurgents and all the new terrorists we're creating and attracting to Iraq from all over the middle East are just shaking in their boots.

They're probably thinking, "Cool. Fresh meat."

Great plan. Noble even.

I'll bet God is shaking her/his head. "Silly Fools." -the words spoken to everyone involved on both sides. "How dare they say they love me. I created them and yet they think they have the right to kill each other? Both sides so very sure they're right?"

God forbid we should get what we deserve. So far, thankfully, God has - but for how much longer, I wonder? I hope against hope the decision is made this way:

"I will show mercy only to whichever side themselves show mercy, humility, remorse, and most importantly, feels shame for their actions. If neither side gives way? I will destroy them all, and by their own hands."

All we have to fear? -is a just God.

Be good to everyone.

Makes sense to me. On the other hand, unlike George & Co. I don't really claim to have an inside track on what God thinks, and was just imagining. And yes, the soldiers, in my scenario, would be spared the wrath. I'd sure hope so anyway.

But, them isn't us and most of the soldiers are "just doing their job" so if what you say is true, it looks like a GWB, a few of his cronies and the terrorist are the ones who have the most to fear.
