Say A Prayer for Dahab

The lovely Egyptian resort town of Dahab was bombed today, and at least 90 people were killed or injured. Another beautiful place is scarred with violence. I have nothing but fond memories of Dahab, with its crystal blue waters, excellent food, sweet people, and warm environment.

Not only will this tragedy further extinguish Egypt's very necessary tourist trade, it will mar the beautiful Red Sea waters with more bloodshed and further sink our hopes for peace worldwide.

I only wish our so-called leaders could take a step back and give us what we really want, which is peace and sovereignty for all nations to live life as they see fit.

We are fast losing the "war against terror" and alienating each other. Conflict only breeds more conflict, and we must sit back and wonder how many more lives will be lost, more enchanted places ruined, before we fully understand this reality.

Goddess bless the people of Dahab and the visitors at its shores.
