Photo is of Gov. Pawlenty seeing the Minnesota troops off...)I have a nephew (actually, a nephew-in-law) who is departing today with the Minnesota National Guard for Iraq.
I am not happy about this.
- Why is it that the whole situation seems more out of control now than it did after "victory" was declared?
- Why is it that the pace of killing and destruction appears to be in the increase, rather than the decrease?
- Why is it that more men and women are being sent there, instead of less?
- Why are people still invoking 9/11 with regard to Iraq when clearly there is (or at least was) no direct connection?
This has seemed like a distant war. This has seemed like things that happen to someone else.
My nephew-in-law is named Jeff. He is probably 23 years old. He is not distant. He is family.
Please keep him in your prayers.
Todd.
