Reading many of these posts is a little scary. I am grateful that our leaders and politicians in the world try to solve things with diplomacy before resorting to war and violence. I think the tone of these postings shows the intransigence and closed mind thinking that many people give in to as they age. Thank goodness for young people, they are often more loving and more forgiving than us older folks. Our leaders need to tread carefully in these minefields of international relations. Still, I cannot forgive the many acts of terrorism that have been done by extreme Islamists. That kind of indiscriminate killing is what is so evil. Their goal is to hurt people, not to really accomplish anything. It is the cowards way to do things behind people's backs. You would think they would spend their money and energies improving their people's lives. There is so much more that could be accomplished there. Maybe leaders can arise that will see the error of these methods and begin to rebuild their countries. It happened in Northern Ireland. Who knows, maybe it can happen some day in these war wracked areas. There can always be hope that change can happen.
