To Michael Savage (part 116)

Doc,

Hope you had a good Passover and couple of days of rest.
Today is Easter in Christian world, which brings love and life to replace death and sin. Or so they say. I personally believe that believing is better than not believing. Also who am I to judge? We can't judge souls, we can judge only the behavior.
There is a book called "Why we should call ourselves Christians;" the religious roots of free societies, by author Marcello Pera, who is an Italian Philosopher and politician. I heard him on radio and got interested to check this out.

Want to know what's going on in the world? i can cover only 1 part for you now - the Balkans.
After conference in Geneva, where they came to decision that armed forces should disarm and should call for ceasefire, one side - the Russians were happy to hear it, but not the other. Especially all decision makers were agree on truce for the holy weekend.
But, yesterday in Slavyansk, where people have locals patrolling day and night on foot without any weapons, some of them have their families, because wives didn't want to leave men alone. So far lots of those who were sent from Kiev seeing simple unarmed people went back to the places of their dislocation or got on the side of the people. This Geneva thing don't effect Kiev, even in the most holiest day for all involved. Saturday night at 2am "civilian patrol" post was attacked by armed bandits who killed several people, burned cars. By preliminary accounts there are 7 dead, one of them was 57 years old school bus driver who had his grown son next to him witnessing. Apparently when they saw cars approaching the post, he went empty handed on front of the first car to stop and to find out who they were. Without giving any answer the "guests" started firing. That's when he got shot on his head and expired right there in front of his son. Then gunfire broke, many of locals got shot, a few ended up dead, but they managed to kill couple of the scumbag visitors. They got their backpacks full of $100 bills, some sort of machine-guns (I don't know how to call them in English), which are manufactured, they claim) in America, bullets, which tear the flash and are prohibited by Geneva convention.
Recent reports said that they're already gunfight heard in the middle of the city. This can become a chain reaction and a spark. Oh, God, I can't believe this country can get into another hot bloodied stuff they don't understand. I would be a mother of a soldier i wouldn't let my son or daughter to go anywhere near any hot conflict. It better sit in jail before exposing himself to death, rather than after.
I remember Michael Behenna and his family and there are others - L10 who are still there.
Lord is only the comfort we can get today, if you ask me.

So long.
