Blood stained hands
Some 160,000 American
troops in Iraq face
danger and uncer
tainly every day. Since March
2003, over 28,000 of our sol
diers have been wounded. An
appalling 3,800 American sol
diers have lost their lives. Who
is to blame for their deaths?
Donald Trump, interviewed
on Larry King Live, said their
blood was on the hands of
President George W Bush. To
stress his point, Trump sharp
ly contrasted the photo of
Jeanna Bush, the
daughter, and her fiance
depicted on the front page
of a newspaper with another
engagement announcement in
the same paper which pictured
an American soldier with his
wife to be. “The young man’s
face was practically blown off,”
said Trump.
Lt. General Ricardo Sanchez,
former commander of U. S.
forces in Iraq, now retired,
accused the Bush administra
tion of sending American sol
diers off to war based on “cata
strophically flawed data.”
The recent outburst from
Rep. Pete Stark against the
President has incurred the
ire of the Republican Party.
When the House failed to over
ride the President’s veto of
the popular State Children’s
Health Insurance Program,
Stark accused Republicans of
funding the Iraq war but not
children’s health.
“You don’t have money to
fund our children,” Stark
declared. “But you’re going to
spend it to blow up innocent
people if we can get enough
kids to grow old enough to
send to Iraq to get their heads
blown off for the President’s
amusement.”
Many throughout history
have tried to wash spilt blood
from their hands. The most
famous was Pontius Pilate,

My husband and I
have always enjoyed
children visiting our
home. Despite my strict disci
pline, the youngsters always
seem to enjoy spending time
with us. My mind goes back
to a young great-nephew who
found himself being constantly
cautioned ... “DON’T!” while
visiting with us. To distract
his attention from things off
limits, toys and gadgets were
made available in a designated
play area.
Exploring the surroundings,
the little fellow became inter
ested in a particular object.
Remembering to examine with
eyes only, he wisely inquired,
“What’s that Uncle Robert . .
. a don’t?”
On another occasion during
the visit of an energetic young
ster, I resorted to a fly swat
ter that dangled from a string
around my neck. Proving his
ability to distinguish between
the “Do’s and Don’ts”, our
young visitor was spared the
flyswatter. Adults, like chil
dren, are exposed to compara
ble situations. Living in a world

who was
forced to
condemn
Jesus to
crucifixion
due to the
insistence of
the Jewish
crowd.
Before
sentencing
Jesus to death, Pilate washed
his hands with water in front
of the crowd, saying, “I am
innocent of this man’s blood.”
Because David had too much
blood on his hands, God did
not allow him to build the
temple. David had sent Uriah
off to war and sudden death
so he could possess his wife,
Bathsheba. Judas Iscariot,
unable to cope with the blood
guilt of Jesus’ crucifixion, hung
himself. On the literary front,
in Shakespeare’s Macbeth,
Lady Macbeth, while in a state
of manic sleepwalking and
sensing blood on her hands
for her role in the murder of
Duncan, the king of Scotland,
uttered the famous line “Out
Damn Spot!”
A minister, as he concluded
worship services, told his con
gregation to be sure to come
next Sunday to hear his mes
sage on Jesus’ crucifixion. He
promised to set-up a casket
for viewing that contained
the person responsible for the
Lord’s death.
After his sermon the fol
lowing Sunday, he allowed
the parishioners to walk by
in single file and to peer into
the casket to see who killed
the Lord.
On the floor of the casket
was a mirror. As the church
members looked inside the
casket, , they saw their own
images reflected in the mir
ror. Who was responsible for
Jesus’ death on the cross? It
was my sins and your sins.

of “Do’s and
Don’ts,” we
must care
fully choose
that which
is permis
sible. As
we make
our choices,
we know to
expect dis-
cipline from the One who cre
ated us. But isn’t it wonderful
to know that God grants us
more freedom than my little
visitors were allowed!
Isn’t it wonderful He does
not follow us around with a
fly swatter ready to whack us
each time we get out of line? If
He were such a God, I suspect
it would take something stron
ger than a fly swatter to get
my attention at times.
Isn’t it wonderful that God
is patient, loving, understand
ing and forgiving with us as we
learn to distinguish between
the “Do’s and Don’ts” of life?
The Lord is good; His mercy
is everlasting; and His truth
endureth to all generations. ”
- Psalms 100:5
