One of the things I like most about my fellow Americans is their love of the underdog. I like their high sense of justice when it comes to innocent victims.

I join them in their sympathy and support of those in the Ukraine/Russia conflict who are helplessly caught in the crosshairs of war. It would be a person with a heart of cast iron who does not feel compassion for the innocent.

But I find myself uneasy when I see more support for the flag and cause of Ukraine than I see for the flag and causes of my own country—so many are waving the yellow and blue when they would never wave the red, white and blue. I am troubled when I see almost univocal support for the border integrity of Ukraine while our own country effectively has no southern border. I am concerned when the destruction of cities in Ukraine receives more condemnation than the recent destruction of America’s own cities.

How odd it is to be called to love another country more than my own. How disconcerting to see those who have sincere questions about the conflict called "treasonous!" How strange to hear more passionate prayers for a distant land than for my own nation!

I am especially concerned when I see people in congress urging tactics that would accelerate and widen the conflict; proclaiming the need for greater American involvement and setting out plans sure to lead to greater carnage—all without much regard for the possible consequences to our own nation.

Where are the visionary statesmen and women who can see beyond the immediate conflict? Where are those who can see the almost inevitable reconfiguration of the entire globe if this conflict in Ukraine is not soon resolved peaceably?

There are ways to resolve the situation but throwing gas on the fire to increase the present conflagration is not one of them.

Statesmen and women must come up with a reasoned plan for peace; yes, one with teeth in it, but one aimed at peace, not war.

1  Arent these the same people who were and still are waving Mexican flags? I like this statement because its true of Bidens/soros free drug kits and the effect it will have on Mexicos drug wars" I am especially concerned when I see people in congress urging tactics that would accelerate and widen the conflict". Fits perfect.

2 As usual, Fay hits the nail squarely on the head. She's wonderful.

3 Agreed Mike!

Yes Dana; Fay IS wonderful! She should be  more widely read.

If she wasn't so openly Christian she would be. Sadly a lot of even conservative sites don't want that these days. We live in a time of terrible apostacy.
