A Quest For Peace In Baghdad

Moving toward the absurd as war in Baghdad goes on, along with the print traffic jam and airwaves; continues to unfold horror stories, deaths: a tinku that spew out of Iraq – the ancient Middle East sand. Skepticism has drawn a timely relevance, that predicts the future as a major stand; sending troops in the combat zone, a 50/50 case either a winning or losing in the battle ground. Like a cacophany of voices across the land, So deep and lugubrious that pervades – ‘enough! we’re helpless and marginalized’ a reflection that’s claims stop and be reconciled. The steady stream of U.S. young soldiers being sent to fight and be part of the plan adds sinews to war but not a total assurance where success can be at hand or defeat in the long run. Antiwar sentiments hover like a gospel cry, with globalized reactions bonded with supplications; a great deal of struggles among people of cultures, that someday peace will reign and sing glory to God on high.
