Thank you Jimmy Carter!

When a Society is heavily biased, impartial and balanced speech sounds prejudiced. If peace is indeed a goal of the USA in this volatile World, where major destruction can be carried out with ease on any side of the front lines, voices of measure, wisdom and good intention are needed. This is the voice that I heard from Jimmy Carter's book about Palestine.

Operation Baghdad Pups

I have never blogged before. Today (2/24/08), I felt that this had to be the day.

This uplifting story on my Charter home page (courtesy of CNN) filled my heart with warmth.

Operation Baghdad Pups (http://baghdadpups.com/) has been saving abandoned puppies from the streets of this bewildered city. Many of the pups even make it back to the US, finding "citizenship" and a new, cozy home..., unlike the over 2 million displaced Iraqis we never hear about, or the 30,000 (as per G.W. Bush; aren't I a good American?) who found their final home prematurely in the warm Iraqi sand.

Are we completely going out of our mind? Have we lost the last residue of true compassion, humanity, mercy and good judgment? Or the Iraqis really don't deserve even as much of our compassion as their street dogs?
