NATO says hit military targets in Libya's Brega

Enough with the absurd! Wars are fought to win and to win, every resource should be devoted to victory, as there is no substitute but victory for the outcome of every war.
That is why wars need to be cautiously left as a last resource, not as a jump in try to play politics at the expense of the people, be it the one on our countries, financially impacted, or of the ones suffering by the ideals that move them, which are not necessarily under the same intentions as the ones sold to 'justify' the aggression.
If the quest is for justice, then we should engage on a general and global war against each and every regime that wee consider to be contrary to our moral beliefs. This is not accepting moral equivalence but rather discretionary assessment on the extremes of war.
A just war then must be one fought in the name of preservation defending the interests of the country, our country, and nothing else. For conquering the souls of the people under despotism and tyranny, the solution is to appeal to the truth and love, not to try to play war games, real ones, which undoubtedly end up massacring innocent people. Each conflict needs its own evaluation, but the common denominator is fight to win or not fight at all.

Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples

Gospel text ( L uke 11,1-4): One day Jesus was praying in a certain place and when He had finished, one of his disciples said to him, «Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples». And Jesus said to them, «When you pray, say this: Father, hallowed be your name, may your kingdom come, give us each day the kind of bread we need, and forgive us our sins, for we also for-give all who do us wrong, and do not bring us to the test»

Money

Is money the ultimate goal, the end of all means? Nowadays, it seems, everything is not just measured in terms of money, but everything needs to be, has to be, in terms of money. Money is set as the goal, over anything. Money is meant to be just a media for exchange of goods and services, not a goal on itself, yet our society has corrupted onto making of money a statement beyond life, family, marriage and most definitively above love and truth. Such a philosophy has degraded our souls to the point of denying everything that is in conflict with the value of money. Even when charity is concerned, it seems mercy can only be measured in monetary terms, as if charity could be measured by anyone except God alone. If there is crusade or cause to be enrolled, the only acceptable way has been institutionalized as the amount of money it can be contributed, regardless of the individual efforts that could be applied or spent.

A matter of life or death

Maybe I am the only one in Ontario, ‘experiencing’ a confrontation with the 407ETR corporation, or maybe not. So far it seems the fact is that I am not, that many out there are subjected to billing from the corporation. No, I am not saying unfair, discriminatory or any of the kind, but I am going to say, unsupported and unsubstantiated. The issue of the matter is that the corporation, for some presumably important reason, is blessed by the province of Ontario to have the ability to stop the licensing of any individual who fail to pay the corporation anything they ask for even if they apparently, are not able to support with facts what they claim.
