A World Gripped by Evil and Terror... With no Solution

After nearly a decade of peace following the horrific 9/11 terrorist attacks on our homeland, the United States has been served a cruel reality of the world we live in the past three: despite military victory in the Iraqi theatre and significant success in Afghanistan, we still live in a world dominated by evil and terror.

We have watched with horror as a dozen servicemen were murdered at Fort Hood, while we sighed in uneasy relief as terrorist attacks on Christmas day and at Times Square were thwarted, and we couldn't believe our eyes when the premier of Batman turned Aurora, Colorado to blood and insanity resulted in schoolchildren's deaths in Newtown.

And then we watched, numbed by sadness, the peaceful Boston Marathon turned into a bloody field of terror for no reason by a madmen obviously driven by a desire to kill and maim the innocent.

Some blame the second amendment for domestic tragedies, while others use security failures to question years of American efforts in the War on Terror. Both are emotional responses to find a solution to chaos; both are political scapegoats to fill a public void for lack of feasible solution.

Quite honestly, there are no solutions to evil.

When man is able to manipulate the feelings of fellow man to not feel hatred, to not be mentally disturbed, to not follow dogmatic religious instruction, to not inflict pain and suffering upon the innocent, and to not believe death is the only ends to meet whatever his means be, only then will the world be free from the grip of terror and evil.

Only then will there be true peace and security... But only at the ultimate cost of free will and liberty.

What say you?
