All of this war has been difficult for me. Everytime I hear about another American soldier being killed, I think of those men or women of Pet Talk families that are there. However, the recent events are so shocking that it went to my very core.

What are we doing over there? Yes, some of these people are barbarians - who take such glee and joy in suffering and torture.

How can we rebuild a country for people who have such a narrow vision and hatred and killing are their way of life?
