A very good friend of mine has written a heartfelt blogpost about the situation, with the simple plea that she does not want to send her man, any man to war.
It is so easy to understand and sympathize with her plea. As our PM Ehud Olmert succinctly said last night it in his address to the nation, "we don't want this war".
I was just saying to my husband last night that I am so grateful that he does not serve in the army, for that matter neither do either of my brothers. But I had to admit I felt a little guilty about saying/thinking/feeling that.
