Pause for thought .

Following on from my last post,here are some casualty figures for Iraq.
I found these on a recent entry in www.bloggingbeirut.com
They were issued by the UN envoy to Iraq ,one ,Gianni Magazenni
It seems that in the year 2006 ,thirtyfour thousand four hundred and fifty two Iraqui civilians were killed ( 34,452 ) and more than thirty six thousand injured (36,000).
A great vision of democracy eh ? Take time, if only one second from your oh so cosy life to realize ,but for an accident of birth this could be your daily horror .
I have seen the US legacy left in Vietnam . We are now honoured with more of their - - - - ! A great Christian act indeed .
