The other day, I came across something that really bothered me. I can mention it now because the military released the information to the media. You can find the Stars and Stripes article here.
Al Qaeda decided to plant a bunch of artillery shells and other explosives inside a building that was under construction—presumably to detonate them when the building opened later this month. It wasn’t a military facility or a government building—rather, it was a girls school. They wanted to kill a building full of school girls. Girls no different than mine. The only difference is, to these girls, monsters are real.
These are not Freedom Fighters” or “Holy Warriors”. They are a bunch of evil cowards that are only brave enough to take on a bunch of little girls. It would be a disservice to call them men—they are pigs.
Evil is like a cancer—you can’t reason with it or sympathize with it. There is no rehabilitation for these people. They need to be eliminated. I don’t care what made them they way they are or why they do the things they do—all I care about is making sure they don’t hurt anybody again.
Now that this story is out in the media, where is the outrage in our country? We wept over Virginia Tech and rightly so, but I predict that this story will not make the main stream media. Even if they were successful in their attack, I doubt this story would make it past the scroll on the bottom of CNN.
We have a responsibility. If we ignore evil, then by our silence, we condone it. By turning a blind eye, we encourage evil doers. I would like to think that we, as Americans, are better than that.
