What we are doing is so wrong...

This is quite sad and maddening, if you really think about it. How we can destroy some country like this is beyond comprehension. When reading Riverbend's book "Baghdad Burning" (which are in her blog archives), I learned how important palm trees are to their culture...and reading of such destruction fills me with much anger!! Why do we not respect such things? Let's just hope that this once very beautiful city will be re-built to satisfaction.
