judyatpalmetto ::: Favorites The desecration of human life is of course the biggest horror of any war, but the loss of these Buddha's in Afghanistan and the ancient Mosque's in Iraq made me weep. I only just watched the special on PBS, so incredibly beautiful, I would love to travel there. I wish them peace. Why can we not respect another's belief even if we disagree? 07-07-30 13:00:42 _____________________________________________________ | |
