The Ceasefire Begins
After a month long war with over a thousand dead the majority civilians and many children the ceasefire in Lebanon and Israel begins. Below is an add that Gush Shalom placed in one of the today's Israeli newpapers, Ha'Aretz. It seemed to sum up the current situation well.
The politicians will
Blame each other.
The generals will
Blame each other.
The politicians will
Accuse the generals.
The generals will accuse
The politicians.
Nothing of this
Will help
The dead.

Ceasefire holding
Well, it looks like the ceasefire has made it through its tenuous first day. We should all thank God for the cessation of violence. However, I do believe that we have all strayed too far from God's will by letting the violence go on as long as it did. The plan does sound workable, but of course there are still the issues of our presence in Iraq and Iran's nuclear program.
