No one can predict with certainty the outcome in Iraq. Many believe there is no course of action that leads to peace and the establishing of a democratic society.

It's political sport to point the proverbial finger of blame. What options do we have? More bombs, troops and violence? More politicians making dire predictions?

Isn't this instead a time when Americans of all faiths could join together in a prayer? Each of us might turn to his or her understanding of a divine being and pray earnestly for guidance. How else are we going to find the wisdom and inspiration to heal the strife, division and danger that now define Iraq?
