In The Holiday Season

The Headlines...

Are truly like a letter from an alternate reality. A little cut/and/paste... and voila!:

World leaders call for peace on holiday AP - 30 minutes ago
British raid Basra police station AP - 17 minutes ago
Philippine military goes on high alert AP - 1 hour, 7 minutes ago
Pope offers Christmas prayers for peace AP - 43 minutes ago
Ethiopian jets bomb airports in Somalia AP - 2 hours ago

In Bethlehem, Latin Patriarch Michel Sabbah, head-christian-in-charge, said "God wants peace".

Perhaps so, but He sure isn't getting any help from His people! It's pretty clear; God may want peace, but the record shows mankind is a lot more comfotable when there's a war or two going on. Why else are they apparently the most common state of affairs worldwide?
Merry Christmas, or Happy Solstice...
