A KIDNAPPING IN IRAQ—SUDDENLY IT WASN'TABSTRACT ANYMORE

BY ROSALIE E. DUNBAR

Like many people, I've read about the people taken hostage in Iraq. And while I've felt that such actions are deeply wrong, and have often prayed, the concept itself was always abstract.

Until today, when I found out that a journalist I'm familiar with had been kidnapped while in her car in Iraq. Suddenly, it wasn't an abstract concept anymore.

Prayer is still the best weapon in my arsenal, and so I plan to use it on her behalf, and for all other hostages.
