Sages have said throughout time that WE ARE ONE.

Connect me with myself, Oh Lord, in Iraq.

For if we are one with You, I am there with You and with the Iraqi people who reside in that place.

Had their fathers made different decisions, they might reside here, as my family.

And, Lord, had I decided to explore the world; if I had longed to see one of the oldest cities in the Cradle of Civilization, I might be in Baghdad tonight, praying to You for help.

My people suffer, God, and they choose not to.

They are good; they believe in You with all their hearts.

There was a man who convinced them they were victims and his name was Saddam Hussein.

He told them that we, in the Western part of this small world, have no regard or love for them.

And that our waging war against him was not for their benefit, but over oil.

Oh, God, let this be a lie.

Speak to their hearts, Oh God, and to ours in the West.

Awaken within us our brotherhood; our sisterhood.

There is one family of humanity of which each of us is a vital part.

No one is expendable. No one is less adored by You.

We affirm that our Iraqi brethren are precious to us and that we are precious to them.

Their true Muslim faith and heritage honors You as a powerful conduit for good in the world.

By Your Grace, we demand that You raise our brethren out of victimization.

Lift us all to a higher energy level wherein we see there is no need for conflict between us.

We are now filled with profound understanding of each other's Divinity and worth.

We are now filled with profound respect for each other's culture.

We, in the West, now show our brethren our true colors and they reflect Your Love.

We now work, together, and restore peace and prosperity in Iraq.

All water, electricity and power are restored.

All schools, hospitals and businesses reopen, under Grace.

Those who have been injured are made well and brought new life.

By Your Grace we give thanks that order, health, commerce, free speech and faith are restored in Iraq.

Those who have died are mourned, blessed and released.

You mend the hearts of those who grieve.

The living heal and go on to live lives of supreme joy and gratitude.

As a nation, Iraq blossoms and her people live in peace, freedom and prosperity.

As a nation, the United States blossoms and her people live in peace, freedom and prosperity.

We, the people of both nations, forgive our countries and each other for everything.

Profound peace and friendship reign between us.

You strengthen this prayer, as we speak and read it, so it resounds through the Heavens and across our world, transforming us with Absolute Joy.

I do my part to create peace and joy now.

Peace is now. Praise Allah, Praise God, Peace is now.

And so it is. Amen.
