We are glad you ran away to live another day and are here with us and your family. My take on all of those war photos was the futility of it all. We think each war will be the war to end all wars and it never is. Of course there has to be resistance to dictators and tyrants, but so many wars are fought for money - or what equates to money - oil, water, land, power. After all of these years, you would think we would have learned the difference. No. Tina On Tue, Jan 10, 2012 at 5:47 PM, <tedgrant at shaw.ca> wrote: > > A first time confession..........
