This warning, which by itself we hope will diffuse any violence, does bring to mind how we have failed totally in the Middle East.
People are dying in Syria, Egypt, and still in Libya with no end in sight. What we referred to as the "Arab spring" with some pride has turned into great opportunity for those who live to kill and in itself is killing so many innocent people.
Thankfully and finally we are addressing Israel/Palestine talks, but we seem, and I say "seem" because you never know what is happening behind the scenes, to ignore all else. At the risk of offending some, we seem more interested in a death, albeit very tragic, of a young man in Florida than the troubling times in the world.
Are we to be the worlds "cop"...I hope not but with power comes responsibility.
