In Local news, I have had a realization. I've said everything I've needed to say, but to the wrong person. And I have the choice of wether or not to tell the right person. If I do, I face the great chance of sadness. If I don't, it would be even worse in the long run, but easy in the short. History has repeated itself, and it has taken me this long to learn from it. This is definately one of the most painful life lessons I have ever experianced. And at the same time, the most beautiful.
In Worldy news, violence in the middle east has escalated. All eyes are on Israel as it attacks on Lebanon after the kidnapping of an Israeli soldier, though their strike seems to have an alternate motive. Again violence has escalated in Iraq, with 2 US soldiers captured and beheaded, and US soldiers raping and killing a 14 year old iraqi girl and her family and burning her body to hide the evidence. Coalition forces have begun more attacks in Afghanistan killing several more insurgents and taliban affiliates. Over 60,000 weapons have been stolen from Austrailian police and are now missing. Iran is still quarrelling over its Nuclear program while North Korea fires Missles into the Sea of Japan, threatening peace in Asia. Japan wants N. Korea attacked and sanctioned and no one has their backs. Russia has offered to use its barren frozen tundra as a storage place for all the worlds nuclear waste. India and Pakistan are on the brink of war. The Iraqi olympic representative as well as 29 other people have been kidnapped by gunmen. The Saddam trial has yet to find an end. Finally, (though alot has been left out), the G8 summit is this weekend. The G8 is the group of eight, the top economic 8 countries in the world. Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Russia, Britain, and the US make up about 65% of the world economy. In the course of the next few days, they will discuss several world issues including oil, education, and world trade. Obviously, they will discuss the current world affairs and discuss diplomacy. It is quite possible that based on the turn out of the summit wether or not World War III will start anytime soon.
Pray for diplomacy and pray for everyone who has to witness this first hand.
I wonder if the US would need an animator in War...
