Another near-war in the Middle East

Airports being bombed, political party headquarters being attacked, cities having missiles launched indiscriminately into them. Those are all the makings of a war.

I really don't want to see another, but I know that they will come. No peace is possible until the Prince of Peace comes. Sometimes wars break out because people don't listen to the full story -- only the part that appeals to them. We in the US are in danger of just that -- not getting the complete story. I guess I serve as part of the problem and solution. I focus on issues that interest me and leave the rest alone. But at the same time, I like to think I bring up alternate sides of the story. Yet when soldiers are being killed or kidnapped then sometimes the information doesn't matter as much as the emotions stemming from the situation.

Suposedly if we were to get attacked here in the states, FEMA has a new system to let us know. I'm very curious as to how it will work. How will they contact all of the internet computers? What port/service will they be using. And how/why isn't it being used to spam everyone right now? Only time will tell.

The Dodgers lost in the bottom of the 14th. At least my (softball) team won today. I went 3 for 3 and additionally reached on an error. So not only did we win, but I ended my hitless streak.

Until next time...
