injustices

Today as I walked back from my class, Argumentative Writing I was left with a million and one questions. I am in the midst of writing a research paper on the war in Uganda, specifically the Lord's Resistance Army and how things are being dealt with. Originally my argument was going to be that America needs to step in and help the government of Uganda. That they would come along side them and guide them in the actions that they must take against the Rebels. As I told my classmates about another position, which is forgiveness, I began to wonder is my stance correct. Is not forgiveness what Christ teaches us? Now I am left with many thoughts and where to go from here. And yet the real issue is that the children in Uganda are left with the responsibility of picking up their things each evening to escape the hands of the Rebels. Yet here I am walking back from class, where I have the freedom to get an education and write a paper on the injustices that these people are living in. Something seems wrong with all of. Here I am crying out to God to show me why this is. I know He is justice and He loves these children. So we must seek forgiveness. Ugandans must seek forgiveness. It is such a deeper issue than we can even image as we sit here and look at our computer screens knowing that we are given so many freedoms. These are the injustices I believe we must think about. Interestingly enough these issues come up while it is Justice Week at Geneva. I don't even know where to begin or where to end...
