Today, thugs lost from God, planted hidden bombs purposefully at many places across Iraq with intent to instill abject fear, to maim, to murder innocents across the land… as Iraq gears up for elections in a week.

That wormed minds want to be before the cameras, hanging in intent as examples of rotted evil… there are not enough words for how dark the dark of those hearts have gone. I do not know if even laser of God can penetrate such sealed dark.

Here are some of the vignettes from Iraq insofar as they can be told. Here are the pictures insofar as a page of internet can hold a few out of the many.

May all be kept safe, may the dead be gently laid to rest.

I am clear [most days] that Love is not destroyed by Hatred, but also that only one of the two bends to shelter all of Life.

Let that be the aegis: Ongoing and ever-shelter of the Living.
