It is so sad that people have to actually kill each other over a few drops of oil, and a few yards of soil. My heart goes out to those displaced by this stupid war in Iraq, and I pray for the families that have lost dear ones because of bombs and bullets. This just had to be told, and thank you for sharing this. Barbara
