Terrorist Ruin Good Days

Today another terrorist tried ruin a good day in Boston. Patriot’s Day is a Massachusetts Holiday. People were vacationing, running, and watching their family and friends finish.

We need to pray for the victims and their family. We need to grieve. Then we need to live our lives like this never happened. Be aware when things don’t look right. But go ahead and live your life anyway.

I do understand. I was there in Olympic Park about 45 minutes before the bomb went off in 1996. Probably walked within 100 feet of the explosion site, or closer. The park was closed for a day while the police investigated. When it was safe, the authorities reopened the park. My friends and I made sure to go back the first day it opened. No bomber is going to ruin a great event like the Olympics.

Terrorist want people to panic. To destroy the government by ruining your trust. They think we want anarchy.

No we want civilization and people to care for each other. We do not think violence is the answer.

How many anarchists do your family know? None. We don’t pay attention to violent characters. Mother Theresa and Mahatma Gandhi are worth remembering.

Few attacks succeed. Many more attacks have been tried. Hard work by good people, law enforcement, and a little luck as prevented most of them. But many more people die from car accidents. The odds of you being a victim are very small.

So grieve today. Then honor the victims by living the life you want. Change the world by doing good.

Frankly go back to Back Bay. Run in a race. Watch family and friends at events. Live more good days for the rest of your life.


Lyrics from the Beatles Revolution

“We all want to change the world
But when you talk about destruction
Don't you know that you can count me out
Don't you know it's gonna be all right”

September 11th and Everyday

We remember those who died in the attacks on New York and Washington. They were victims of attacks on the United States by evil people who wish to destroy us. Al Qaeda started World War III by attacking any western nation they can.

The World Trade Center was targeted (twice by the way) because they thought if you destroy a Wall Street finance center, you will destroy or damage the American Economy. America would be too weak to respond.

The Pentagon was also targeted because it is the headquarters of US military, and they wanted to slow our response. They feared the military, but think of us as a weak enemy. Based on our response to military losses in Somalia, they think we would quit after the loss of a few soldiers. Take out our headquarters, and no one would stop them.

The reality is the leaders of Al Qaeda are older, educated and dedicated to destroying anyone in the way of their vision of an Islam led world. Al Qaeda is targeting Christians, Catholics, Jews, Hindus, Buddhist and other Muslims who do not believe their distorted interpretation of the Korean. They kill randomly with bombings, mass attacks, and wipe out innocent families for their convenience and security. Parts of Iraq has woken up due to the number of Iraqi’s who have been victims of Al Qaeda murders, and areas of Iraq are coming to us for help ridding themselves of this evil.

Remember 9/11. Remember Pearl Harbor. Remember the Maine. Remember the Alamo. One if by Land, and Two if by Sea. History has taught us winning wars takes persistence, sacrifice and dedication. We have been in Bosnia over 15 years to insure peace. In Korea 54 years. In Germany and Japan for over 60 years. Al Qaeda wants to take over every country possible. The world needs to step up and help contain this enemy of religious freedom with us.

The best strategy for this ongoing World War is to enlarge our military now, to prepare for the long battles remaining, and to remain determined to win over evil. That is how we will succeed remaining free.
