The urge to surge

To President Bush’s Administration and the plan to send upwards of 20,000 more young men and women to Iraq:

  • It won’t work – it’s too late.
  • It’s a useless waste of more young lives.
  • It’s a waste of our national resources and treasure.
  • It does not protect our country.
  • The Democrats will talk it up, but owing to politics will let the Republicans hang for the error. They will do nothing to stop it. They’re co-dependent.
  • Pray.
  • Speak-up, even though your witness may seem like words into the wind, speak-up.

Let us pray:

Almighty God, by whose grace we look for the day when nation shall not any more lift up sword against nation, and when men shall live without fear in security and peace, grant to us in this time of strife the will to labor for peace even while our sword is drawn to resist the foe. Let not the evil we oppose turn us from our purpose, to achieve unity and concord among the nations of the earth, to Thy honor and glory. Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
