And we think about the journalists, who are broadcasting and writing from the front lines so we can be kept informed about the war.

As Prime Minister Perry Christie said last night in his television address to the nation, the time for moralizing about the rightness or wrongness of the cause for peace versus the cause for war has now ended.
