No, the answers come from within don't they? Do they?

Markng, I probably should explain some of the thinking that went into that

poem.  It's not a Scarlett O'Hara kind of poem, where she's pouting and throwing a tantrum over her lost dreams.  I was thinking of the two soldiers killed last weekend in Iraq.  I wouldn't call that unfair.  Inexplicably evil, on all parts, but not unfair.

Thanks for stopping by, Saul,

After what happened yesterday, well, never mind.  It's horrifying.

Will do.  We actually had two go back with Carl's old unit on the 3rd of this month.  I will pass the word onto the wife of one of them.

Thank you, Bel, if you are in touch with anyone in Carl's unit, who is stil

in Iraq, could you let them know that someone is thinking of them?

Given I read the comment first

I already knew what this was about before I read it...but how you put what I feel into such beautiful words, I simply don't know.

PoeticInk, thank you, I wrote this after I read SaulRelative's post on

the missing American soldiers in Iraq.  They were found today.  It is truly horrible what people are capable of.  I'm glad it moved you.

Ahem unfortunately I lose you at the word

Lucent (Yes, I realize that is not very far in) as I start pondering telephony and communications companies instead...
