25th July 2010 5:00 PM EST WikiLeaks has released a document set called the Afghan War Diary, an extraordinary compendium of over 91,000 reports covering the war in Afghanistan from 2004 to 2010.

I don't think I have ever mentioned this...but one day a guy I hardly knew wanted me to mail a letter for him. I said "sure". He said it was to his girl friend...he had marriage plans...about 10 minutes later he was about 50 yards away from me when his head got blown off. And here I am, sixty years later, still musing the why-him-and-not-me muse. And wondering about war in general, and wondering why, as I am REALLY against war, do I want the U.S. to end the dispute now emerging again between N. and S. Korea...7 low powered nukes should do it.

Today another Canadian died in Afghanistan. His name was Larry Rudd.

He was the 146th soldier killed and there are about 19 months to go before the end of 2011.

This is what I think we should do.

On Canada Day, on main street in every town, we should march for peace, now.

No political parties, no activist organizations, just people who want the killing to stop.

Will you march with me?

This is a link to an article about Capt Robert Semrau who committed a mercy killing on the battle field.

With Israel's deliberate and public ihumiliation of  Ofama and Biden, by announcing they were stepping up the building of illegal settlements and thus destroying any peace talks, We have surely come to the end of a road.

Even an ass-kisser like Harper has said he regrets the Israeli move.

I remember a football coach who would gather the team together to pray for victory before a game. One day, overexcited, we ran onto the field, forgetting the prayer. So the coach stormed out, and hauled us back for the prayer.

Now, I'm not big on prayer anyway. But this seemed a trivial use of a purpose for which Jesus died.

I thought of that today as I walked by a church with a big sign. Pray for our troops and our brave allies.

What do you think of that?

as I read reports of the attempt aitline bombing on Christmas day, it has been intriguing to read that the attack was planned in Yemen, and attacker was Nigerian. The conclusion was obvious. The attack was them there terrorists again, who attack innocent people because thateswhat terrorists do. There was no reason for it, except the villainy of Islam.

Has it not become clear to everyone that we are not fighting for democracy or freedom?

 Think about it.
