So this weekend the US passed 4,000 deaths in Iraq, no matter what your belief is about the war on terrorism and the war in Iraq..I hope that we can unite in saying that 4,000 lives lost, is a sad day. It is a sad day for the world when we send our family, our […]

I wish, as a world that we could find peace, find a way of living together rather than dying together. Death is always painful but for me, death through war seems wrong.
