Yes, terrorist attacks need our attention, we need to educate our civilization regarding the need for love, compassion, and understanding.....not revenge....because an eye for an eye leaves everyone blind.
Bingo.

Holding our leaders responsible for truth and their language is or would be a great start.

I have been posting about the children in Syria for years. End is we allowed Russia to get involved, children are being gassed and dying daily, and we shut them out of our country. But we don't seem to care.

We seek to blame, not solutions.

These attacks are terrible, but the reason is hate, talk of hate, etc.

These "terrorists" are winning. The world, and if people would look around, they might hear and read in our own country. Our very democratic agencies are under attack by Americans...truth is under attack in our country as well as the world. Listen up....Russia and all terrorists are winning.
