These pictures made me very sad.
Very, very sad..
How terribly sad. It is unimaginable that this is everyday life for them. We truly have so much to thank God for.
Wow. This is price we pay for freedom. But there are other images, too – images of people crossing the Syrian border streaming back into Iraq…images of kids in school learning without the demands of a dictator…images of shops thriving because they can sell stuff…images of satellite television beaming news into the country for the first time…you concentrated on what is past…show what is the future to balance it out.
It is so sad.
