Bombing an Orthodox country on it's Good Friday is symbolic of the people behind the bombing.

I have to take issue with this Effie.

I think it more proper to say symbolic of what is being told to the people by the media behind the bombing. I will admit I don't now or then know much about the politics, but I do remember being pressed upon us (or at least my understanding) was we were there to bring relief to the poor people by helping them attain a Democratic state. I can't say I remember knowing there were Christians in the middle east so I was always puzzled why we were helping nonchristians but I suppose all people should have a right to vote for their way of living.

I know nothing of the workings of my own government and am sure there are areas I don't want to know about. As much backstabbing as we have within it, I am hard pressed to understand how we get anything accomplished.

Now I know more about Orthodoxy and where we come from and where we need help, I am much more sympathetic to their plight. As much as people do not like President Bush right now, I fear future presidents will have less sympathy for and a propensity for more destruction outside US soil. I bow my head in shame for this as this is my country. But please believe the government is not necessarily representative of its people. We are vicitims of our liberal media.
