Hope for the Future . . .

Another year is ending as I write.
Not much happened - earthquakes, famines, wars all happened on schedule.
Inevitably the "democratic" process in Iraq sentenced Saddam to death and in the last few days that sentence was carried out in front of the cameras.
Meanwhile today I heard the news that the 3,000th American serviceman was killed in Iraq. There are bombs in Bangkok. Gales in Britain. Polar bears are dying out in the Arctic.
In spite of all this I look at my two sons, now growing further at University, and think there still could be some hope for mankind. We still have the hope that our sons and daughters will show more sense than we did.
And because of that hope I wish you all a happy and prosperous New Year, whoever and wherever you are.
