"God have mercy on them."

My first reaction to most things is usually cynical and/or skeptical. I'm trying hard to not react this way so much because I feel that most times these attitudes result in inaction and/or whining.

That being as it may, I read this article on Reuters and I'm a little cynical of Saudi's intentions.

"(King Abdullah) saw you on television and was extremely affected," Health Minister Hamad al-Manei told the girl, Jamila, at a meeting of Arab health ministers in Riyadh.

It's good that someone is caring for innocent children who have been severely injured by being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Well, maybe it was the explosives and not the children that were in the wrong place. In any case, the children are alive for at least one more day to [hopefully] recognize God's grace through Jesus Christ. Now they just need someone to tell them the Good News that can really save their lives.

Meanwhile, in other news, some Christians in Gaza are protesting the conflict by wrapping themselves in bandages covered in fake blood. I'm not sure what this is supposed to communicate that the actual images of war don't communicate already.
