Chasing the Wind

News. Faith. Nonsense.

Iraq is Sovereign Again

The Iraqi hand-over came 2 days early. Paul Bremer of the Coalitional Provisional Authority read a short speech at a hastily arranged news conference and handed authority over to Prime Minister Iyad Allawi. President Bush has already sent a letter to the new Iraqi government asking to restore diplomatic ties. Security concerns were a consideration in handing over power early, but it was Allawi that asked for the handoff early, saying Iraq was ready to assume power.

NATO, which has been unable to help because of France and Germany’s opposition, stopped squabbling and agreed to help the new Iraqi government.

The Left is already claiming the US is “cutting our losses and running.” Sheesh.

About Me

Michael, a sinner saved by grace, sharing what the good Lord has shared with me.

Solomon, in the book of Ecclesiastes, said, “I have seen all the things that are done under the sun; all of them are meaningless, a chasing after the wind.”

If you’re not living for the glory of God, then what you’re doing is meaningless, no matter what it is. Living for God gives life meaning, and enjoying a “chasing after the wind” is a gift from God. I’m doing what I can to enjoy this gift daily.

Got questions? I’m not surprised. If you have any questions about Chasing the Wind, you can email me at chasingthewind@outlook.com.
