Weapons and Words

 

Blessings from Pat*:

 

A U.S. serviceman who formerly worked with Iraqi troops was interviewed for a radio report on Iraqi soldiers routinely beating anyone that was arrested with their rifle butts. He said that he tried to convince them that such action was sure to turn many detainees to support anti-government terrorism when released.

 

It occurred to me that as we use words as weapons, we will get similar results. May I be mindful to use healing words?
