"God willing, I'll return" [article title]
National Catholic Reporter, Feb 24, 2006 by Evi Quinn
* Isabel Gibson (NCR, Jan. 27) praises Gen. MacArthur's "I shall return" statement, but her criticism of adding on the often-used phrase "if all goes well" makes me wonder why Ms. Gibson equates this latter expression with "playing it safe, committing to to nothing"? Hispanics say, "si Dios quiere," and people in the Jewish tradition say, "im yirtzeh Hashem."
