yes, many have blogged their insights into this war with IRAQ... personally i thought bombing Saddam & his cohorts himself would be better for this world, but after seeing "Tears of the Sun"... i dunno... i heard a voice in my heart and in my head saying, "I died for them too."... funny how one can hear God even in a surround-sound IMAX theatre... but yes, my thoughts are not so much on this war, but on the state of our world in general... do we understand the values of FREEDOM, of PEACE, of BROTHERHOOD/SISTERHOOD, of LOYALTY, of COURAGE, of SACRIFICE, of LOVE?... when it comes down to it the message of HOPE will still be louder... and it will drive us to do things we would not even consider doing... when push comes to shove, where will YOU be?... eat your heart out, Satan...

and thanks for the astute observation on FRANCE, ritchie boy... they do make awesome french fries at NEW YORK FRIES!... (hey, is this a coincidence that these fries invented by France are popular in a state called New York, where freedom is a buzz word, and where the Statue of Liberty is seen, which was created by a Frenchman?)... hmmmmm...
