God please help us....

Today was a sad day. The terrorists are stepping it up in Iraq. Today they went after children. There was a celebration. Our soldiers were handing out candy...of course the children came. But so did the car bomb. Damn them...today is a one of those days that its hard to find the good news. So today I wept. Prayed. Then the anger came. For the sniping that is going on in this country, for the finger pointing and the cowardice of so many. For the terrorists that dare hold us ALL hostage, for taking away our feeling of entitled security and prosperity and peace. Most of all for taking the lives of our children, the worlds children. What kind of world have we become that we can't protect our children? And when we fail in that, what kind of world have we become that we aren't all in unison standing in rage and vowing that we will stop this evil. We cannot allow them to triumph, it is as simple as that. That is when I found this site. And now I feel renewed, renewed in purpose and in commitment, renewed in spirit, and renewed in hope.

The site describes the purpose as this: The Iraq-America Freedom Alliance (IAFA) is a coalition of American and Iraqi organizations and individuals committed to fostering goodwill between our nations' citizens and winning the war on terror. We support a free, democratic and pluralistic Iraq that is at peace with the world. IAFA will provide Americans with a fuller picture of Iraq by giving voice to Iraqis who are grateful for their newfound freedom and working to secure democracy in their country.
Untold Iraq features the stories of Iraqis and Americans who are building a secure, stable and democratic future in Iraq. These stories, rarely shown on American newscasts, provide a powerful first-hand account of Iraqis' gratitude for their newfound liberation and commitment to working with the Coalition to build a brighter future.
Todays good news...
It was profoundly inspiring to read the stories here. Everyday people, doing extraordinary things. These are people who are determined to bring a better and brighter future to Iraq and in doing so, to the world. These are people that continue to point out the many good changes and improvements that have happened and are happening in Iraq. These are people that are joining together and standing in unison and saying we won't be defeated. We have to reach out and join in with our outrage and support.
Today the terrorists made me feel helpless. It was but a momentary lapse. We cannot and must not allow that to happen. With every step they take, we have to raise our voices louder. Thank you to the people who run this site. I signed on today. Together we can and WILL find the harmony in the discord. I can hear the melody in the voices of these courageous Iraqi people. If you listen carefully, you will too.
God bless us all.
