I Have a Dilemma

Written by: Lisa

I have a dilemma that I just can’t seem to work out. I hope you all can give me your opinions. The answer seems completely logical (and I believe without bias) to me but I know there must be a deeper answer I am missing.

The insurgents seem to favor attacking the Iraqi people: the police, the military, and MANY innocent bystanders and blaming the Americans. And many agree with them. However, it seems to me the ones who should be blamed are the ones doing the harm! If we did pull out immediately, would that stop the insurgency? Or would they simply redirect their blame to religious differences (or some other excuse) and keep it up because they feel they can?

Perhaps I sound narrow-minded but that is my reason for seeking your opinions. I want to better understand!

What are your opinions?

His eyes, liquid pools of mesmerizing green and black, stand before me.

I hover.

Waiting…

Waiting for the slightest shift in the minute black abyss before me… hanging there.

I wait.

I wait for the blackness to expand and take me in… to enfold me in his consciousness, to make me a part of his soul.

I wait.

The yearning takes hold. The desire to crawl inside and curl up next to his heart is almost more than I can bear.

I wait…

He smiles.

I breathe…

I’m home.
