Re-statement

I originally posted this as a comment on a friend's board, but it deserves repetition. War is never right. There is no way to peace; peace is the way. But to let the deaths of thousands of innocent citizens go unanswered by action would be wrong. There is always injustice in this world, and seldom more of it in one place at one time than the eastern seaboard on tuesday morning. Usually, injustice is accepted, or welcomed if it lets us off easy. This cannot happen this time. fanatics willing to die in order to acheive their mission, and with a mission of murder, must be stopped. Not out of some misguided idea of revenge that many in this country seem infected with. It must be done so they cannot do it again. It must be done because that is justice: to stop the wrong before it can be compounded. I do not say our country has not made grievous errors in the past. It has. But there has never been an error deserving the taking of one innocent life, let alone thousands. -Matt
