Suffering innocent Afghans


Ted Rudow III, MA, Encina Ave, Palo Alto, CA



Poor Afghanistan has really suffered, and it’s now suffering worse than ever. The poor, the women, children, and old folks suffer the most because they have so little already and are so needy, so often they don’t survive. And the men go off to fight and often they don’t make it either. War is horrible, so in a way, the U.S. is reaping what it sowed in Afghanistan — war. The Afghans themselves are reaping what they’ve sowed in many ways. Now don’t get me wrong — there are many poor innocents in Afghanistan, and I’m not speaking of them. But the Afghans as a whole have been lawless, ruthless and bloodthirsty for centuries.



So both the U.S. and the Afghans are suffering for their sins, and the longer U.S. keeps up this war, the more they’ll both suffer. Please pray for the innocent, the helpless and needy Afghans, that they can find peace and refuge from the war.
