Bombs over Baghdad

The skies over Baghdad were lit up tonight with anti-aircraft fire and hundreds of exploding bombs and missiles. "Shock and Awe" has begun in earnest.

Spoke briefly to Marijke in Amsterdam, and then received this email from her.
Liz,
Don't be sorry to be an American
Neither am I sorry to be European, although I should!
we all do wrong
Let's just be human, now and forever
Pray for the kids in Iraq and their families.........

Kiss your family

and hope/pray for a more civilised world
