I love my wife, my children and my family!
But this unfortunate war must be fought to keep us free!
Please dear God don’t let it be me!
We want peace within this world!
Not war, not hate, nor crime!
But we cannot stand by,
And watch our innocent being destroyed,
Our freedom being taken away by Radical Terrorist’s!
We will no more be their prey!
Please dear God please make me safe,
I love my children, and family,
I cannot see the point in killing,
Just to please a God that gives you all!
This is not Gods wishes, our love needs
To embrace everyone in this world!
I will only kill to prevent more war,
And innocent life that is wiped away,
With no remorse.
This is not what anyones God wishes
I deplore you, all terrorist’s that want to maim
Your just in this to make your name
That your name is sacred … it doesn’t work
You see, there has to be love for all not for thee!

Dear David….
how can war prevent from more war or killiing?
Should we then… kill the future killers…the future rapers, the future demons, Hitlers..?
I know that you did not mind it… really now that you have seen that the war is still there, and bloodshedding so many “innocent”...
I understand the fury of revenge….though it is really painful, devastating for the soul,
but I would love to feel that it is so… clearly so..
justifiable by the tremor of the passions of emotional despair.
I understand killing through a self-deffense instinct…
But therapeutic war.. It is beyonder my understanding… really
But… cannot justify strategies, bombings, selective targets,irregular illegal deportations or torture….cannot, because there the revenge is lost, and all that is working is the hypocrital machinery of the meanest of meanest minds….
And yet… I understand…
Unless that we can dettach oneself from compassion, feeling just self-pity, which is not love at all.
There were 500 death souls in Madrid, workers going to their working places, and thousands of wounded and horphans. For an small place as Madrid, comparing with New York it was terrible… and here.. I can assure, the persons that were detained and put into jail or that reason, have been adequately judged and condemmed while it has been followed and scrupulous process about it.. no Guantamo’s not tortures, nothing of the such. And I have not seen these victims, claming for revenge or “therapeutic war agressions”.... never.. they just asked for Justice… the human justice that can never repair what the dammage has done, but can in some way state that one need some rules, or our conviviality,
Have a hug dear…..
Rosa

Bless you dear Rosa, your comments are so pure and I applaud you for them being so, it isn’t about revenge …...... I think the world has moved on into more violent times and in many different ways.
I certainly don’t agree to torture, I don’t know any answers that could bring peace to the world only try and stop terrorism. The only way to combat things is to talk but unfortunately there is hatred out in the world today You have seen it, I have seen it here in the UK
silverstrummer... replied
Sorry Rosa some how I moved my mouse and I must have clicked send. The terrorist of today doesn’t want to talk they want to kill then they believe they are sure of Paradise. They even kill their own people who are even in the same religeon but not the radical side. They have no morals because they don’t care who they kill, a child, a mother, a pensioner people who are unable to defend themselves. Wouldn’t the world be a great place without the Dictatorship and people are free to speak and live without fear? I myself just want it to stop and let everyone get on with each other. But its far beyond our reaches! Thank you Rosa you are the wise soul and I respect you so much! Hugz back – David

Very strong and meaningful words. Words that get to your heart. Nobody wants to die. Nobody should die. Nobody should lose sons, husbands, fathers and now mothers, and daughters, and sisters for this stupid war. Yes, it is stupid, as a matter of fact all war is stupid. You see all of these people in high places disagreeing in everything and instead of try to make peace, are willing to send their children to war. I know that they feel that they have to defend, and defend we must, but the governments are the ones doing the wheeling and dealing here. I cry with your words for these who are fighting, “Please God, Don’t Let It Be Me”.
