Exactly Ecolady/Angela! I would love to live in a world where there would
not be any necessary or unnecessary violence, but we dont live in that
world at the moment. Terrorists are not interested in sitting and
negotiating. They are meant to deter those they do not approve of. Many
are only interested in stopping the infiltration of democracy and
technology into their country. Fine, we could easily just allow those
countries to abuse their country, their women and children. And do not
tell me such abuse is not taking place. It is happening. Whether we sit on
our hands and do nothing will certainly not stop such activities from
happening.
Peace and love is the goal, but how we reach that goal is the key.
And terrorism is not the answer, but these terrorists are not going to
stop any time soon.
