It has been 10 years since the violence in Rwanda and what have we done? Another decade over and a new one just begun.

So this is civilization, Huh?

I am not sure if I want to be civilized!

Remember that The area in central Iraq was once referred to as the "Cradle of Civilization!" The Irony just kills me!

I am here at UAA's Consortium Library doing some writing and research. Thinking of the future....thinking of the past (as my heart starts beating fast!)

The Anchorage Job Fair is coming up on April 15th-17th. I am hoping and praying for the best case scenario. All I want is one more chance to return to the classroom. (and hopefully on the road system).

Two months ago I had nothing but contempt and anger towards the LYSD, but now I have forgiven them and plan to move forward.

Semper Fidelis,

More violence in Iraq. I do not think they will be ready to transfer power by June 30th. There are a lot of people that do not want to see rule by the majority Shite. Much of the violence is probably coming from the minority Sunni. But, have no doubt, if Iraq was not a home to terrorists before, it is now.

I am a Marine, I support the troops, but do not agree with current US policy. Can we just cut and run, NO! I do not think that is the answer.

It is a mess and will be a mess for sometime to come.

Peace,

Mark

When all else fails trust in that inner voice, intuition if you will. It is not always necessary to know, sometimes it is best to have faith in what you know to be right.

All you need is love...and a bit of faith.

Peace and Love,

Mark
