Which is probably why these atrocities continue. I believe it was last night that I watched a young woman (just imagine what they would do to her) reporting from Syria and I could only shudder to think of her alone in that awful country reporting to the rest of the world stuff we would otherwise not know about. She is freelance, very attractive and so very vulnerable and it terrifies me to think of her doing her reporting.
We need someone we would follow to the ends of the earth ............... someone who could inspire greatness in all of us .............. and we are not going to find it in any of the politicians from either side of the spectrum that we have now.

I agree with this post and also BTK's post.
I might add that this country now only knows what we are against. We seem to be having difficulty with what we are for.
Your note on leadership strikes real with me, but I gotta say, that is not going to change much. We are simple followers of where the press and media take us. Those who can use the media will win over because we have become lazy. We do not search for the truth any longer. We accept as truth whatever is laid before us.
BUT, you are correct....without
"...someone we would follow to the ends of the earth" (LEADER) it is just not going to happen.
