Earlier in May President Bush hailed the formation of the new Iraqi government as a "turning point". My question is just which way are we turning?
According to the latest report by the Pentagon, insurgent attacks in Iraq are at the highest level in 2 years. If that figure is any indication we have turned down a really dark alley, and I fear the end will be full civil war. Meanwhile, our troops are over stressed and understaffed which leads to the kind of tragedy that occurred at Haditha. Even worse it leads to shabby cover-ups that become public relations nightmares for our country.
In the aftermath of the massacre, the son of one of the victims is seen in video footage crying to Allah for revenge. Another future terrorist is born. I pray that he will find peace in his heart someday and that his desire for vengeance will be tempered with peace and clarity.
May Allah bless us with clarity in these trying and testing times.
