Stepping back.....

Too frequently conflict with others or within ourselves comes from being too close, too involved, in a situation or event. 'Stepping back' from the situation can often reveal aspects not otherwise considered or seen.

Iraq, 'Let's wait and see,' ok? OK?

YAHOO News, May 10, 2007
Bush seeks compromise on Iraq benchmarks
By ANNE FLAHERTY, Associated Press Writer

The President, in this article, is quoted as saying
about the "pending compromise"-

"Why don't we wait and see what happens," the president
said. "Let's give this plan a chance to work. Let's stop
playing politics."

AAAaaarrrgggghhhh!

Will someone yank those rose tinted glasses off of his
face? Sure, Mr. President. We (here at home) have nothing
at stake, do we? Let THEM die. Keep it OVER THERE!

That is obviously why Mr. Bush is not seeing blood,
limbs, bodies, heads, and lives strewn over the streets
of Iraq. His glasses are painting an entirely different
picture for him than for the rest of us.

"WAIT AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS?"

We KNOW what is going to happen!

While the Big Boys talk, drink, smirk, posture and negotiate,
grunts die.
That's DIE, as in DEAD. Your neighbors, your friends, your
pals, your loved ones. DEAD. No more. Buried. No laughter,
no smiles, no hugs, no telephone calls. Thats whats going
to happen. And there are no Rules of War that says its going
to be someone else's son or daughter that is going to die.
It isn't written .... anywhere!

And when they finally do come home, if they are not in a
body bag, the Military-YOUR GOVERNMENT- yes, YOUR
GOVERNMENT-isn't going to help them ease back into society.
They're not as valuable as their counterparts, the Firemen
or Policemen, once they're spent. Their life is OVER! No unions
for them. No compensation if deemed a personality disorder!
They may even wind up OWING money to the Government!

But the Big Boys are OK,
and that's what counts.
Isn't it?
