I've been following the war since the rumours of war on Iraq broke out. But, as South Africa isn't taking part in it (yet???), its seemed like one of those "it can't happen to me" situations.

I read in the newspaper today that a South African fighting as a US Marine has died in action. He lived a few blocks away from me.

I never new him, but it has changed my perspective about who the war (or any war/disaster) affects. my prays go out to all nations involved in the conflict. Like most people, I hope for a swift end to the conflict.

God Bless
