I applauded his efforts to asist those of third world countries. He honestly felt there was an urgent need to help financially, medicinally, spiritually, though not militarily, those in Africa "fly covered babies" and in Eastern Europe that took into account milions of hungry, sick, downtrodden and devastated human beings. I dare say anyone with such a position as our last president and attitude regarding these most serious issues, would get the same response from you as Mallory got. Didn't we get skeward into this Iraq mess because he said this horrible dictator was a murderer, a man who would destroy his own people to keep power and threaten the world? Wasn't that whole mission one of compasion for our fellow man regardless of borders? Nedl, Darylmaxen, Gta. It's so sad and silly when a person attempts to open a human dialog with ....what was that you jibed Daryl, "compassion, rescue"? among other noble meanings, that are meant to get people to start to at least to show they care about our planet, people, peace, and the love our Lord(so said by our last president often through his deep spirituality) asks of each of us to show to one another. I really think Mr Bush would be ashamed of this kind of back turning on our fellow man. After all, isn't it part of the conservative mantra, that those bleeding heart Liberals wanted to leave God on the doorstep? Baby killers? But conservatives care more about the word of God? Sounds more and more like our good conscious conservatives crossed the fence, advocates now of the so called liberal movement at least where the needsw of our fellow man is an issue. Unless it's only that our compassions are sanctioned by God to stop at our borders? Then by all means lets re-write the bible to say What you do for the least of your, close friends and family, but not the rest of mankind, you also do for me. The rest can fend for themselves. "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you" can be re-written to say......Do unto others as they have done unto you, or ignore them unless they do for you. By the way, you fellas tossed in the liberal conservative diatribe. Fences again, cross one and your a no-count.

Myself, as before, I still feel the distant problems that occure in such a horrific way elsewhere, will one day, sooner than later reach our shores too. So again, I think as we all mallory, and every other truly God fearing soul, would be eager to lend a hand and stop gigging others who stand up and say lets all of us be counted. Our last president said so himself..... By God.... and tried to spread a God, Christ loving democracy and America's christian love to many lands? Should that somehow be our downfall, then like the unconditional love of a wayward child, we all go together.

I spent the past couple days at the service and burial of my sister's baby girl. I looked onto the face of that precious innocent child, knowing she won't have to suffer these sorts of unkindness and ridicule aimed at those who seem to take Christ's words to heart. Gave me a sense of relief and envy for her. Though sadness gripped the whole of our family and friends.... of course. Still with Christ's promise, we rejoiced for her, knowing she went to the mansion God has ready for her. We are now and for some time filled with sadness and our christian hearts will ache long, but with more purpose than ever. So please guys, give mallory and others a break for trying to spread what she is obviously not ashamed to do, and follow the word of the Lord as even our last president tried to do. We would all be better off in the end for it. Even if we fail in our efforts.

Lucy.
