yahoo! news ... kill ... lies ... war ... thank god for soccer!

yahoo! news today, whatever time it is ... headline "Victims' Kin Testify for Moussaoui's Life" that got me ... i got this far and began to just see the darkness creeping in:

"Debra Burlingame, whose brother Charles was pilot of the hijacked plane crashed into the Pentagon, said she found it "deeply disturbing ... to hear that any 9/11 family member would take the witness stand on behalf of Zacarias Moussaoui. ... The fear that execution at our hands will martyr Moussaoui shows a misunderstanding of the jihadi cult of death.""

i find it deeply disturbing that anyone should criticize anyone trying to protect another being's right to life in the united states of america.

i find it equally disturbing that our christian leaders can call for the assignation of another country's leader and not be in prison. but, that's me.

justice is not blind in america it is being used by the christians to create the 'perfect' world ... according to them. i don't get it, are we all made in the image of god, or just those that go to church on sunday.

to think this man has a chance at a fair trial is almost as comical as when we thought we gave timothy mcveigh a fair trial. we are too emotionally impotent and filled with good, old christian judgment and condemnation to have blind justice in this day and time. ...soon, perhaps

but i can be impatient ... so until then, i write my senator, i email cbn, i pray for mr. bush to meet saul on that road in the bright light, and i work on changing me.

thank god for soccer and the fact that it was yahoo! news headline worthy to report on the FIAA standings of our national soccer team (the magic of peter uberroth) ... except someone PLEASE explain how the us can lose a game and have our rank go UP?

peace & harmony,
elaine
