K...dont want to start a fight about the war in Iraq..I just have to talk about something that is really bothering me right now..


yesterday there were two attacks that really caught my attention..one in Mozul and one on the Abu Ghraib prision in Baghdad. Among those attacked were two batallions from my states national guard. The attack in Mozul has killed one Mainer and injured 3 others...My husband has a friend in that batallion..we havent heard word on him yet.


The prision is where another batallion is guarding prisioners..one of those guard happens to be my ex-boyfriend who I still care about (not in a romance way..just in the "he was an important part of my life and I still care" kinda way)...as far as we know no americans (Ie no mainers) were killed or injured..but Im still so worried about him.


We broke up an odd way and havent really spoken or seen eachother (but once) for about 3 years...but i still worried sick about him being over there. His family are such nice people..and he is the son that really holds the family together..id hate to see them loose him ya know?



SOrry this is so off topice..but its really bothering me..and whats worse is I cant do anything about it. I have friends over there..and I dont know if they are safe or hurt..and I cant do a damn thing about it.


Anyone else with friends or family over there that care to share their stories?


Im not big on prayer..but i think its time to start..at least for me..because its about all I can do for my lovedones over in iraq.
