One of the many changes we experience here in Nicaragua is the news coverage of the world, pictures and images we would never see in a US newspaper. We have seen a new side of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and it has been heartbreaking.
For many years I believed in the cause of a "just war", but in the past several years have been slowly changing my beliefs, and have now come to the conclusion that there is never a good enough reason to kill somebody. Who are we to put ourselves in the place of God and decide if another person should live or die? I would not be willing to tell the fathers and mothers in this picture that their child died as a sacrifice to peace. Would you?
There are no winners in war, only losers. Sadly, too many innocents suffer.

Amen! I also firmly believe that we should never say we support a war; we are in a parallel Kingdom and it's confusing at times, but the fact remains that taking human life is wrong. ~Karen
