PRAY hard and pray often for peace. This could be the best advice as Australia enters what is likely to be a protracted war in the Gulf at the side of the United States.
Australia has been caught up in an ugly conflict which few people in this country wanted.
Yet the Australian Government has blatantly ignored public opinion and sent this nation’s sons and daughters into a battle which has no justification under moral principles or international law.
May God protect the young men and women of the Australian Defence Forces and bring them home quickly and safely.
May he also protect the many innocent people of Iraq who face almost certain death amid the destruction that will be incurred by the invading forces.
