Who's lifetime? Our son's, their son's? It is a scary thought and maybe some don't realize the danger Australians are in with a fanatical fundamentalist group just north of your border. It isn't just England, Spain, NYC and the Middle East. All Fundamentalist groups embarrass God in MHO- better heads need to prevail around the world.

As Aussies we have already been victims of the Bali bombings and the embassy bombing attack in Jakarta in the last 2 years. It will happen on our shores too no doubt. People above us are generally great. Its only the idot fringe that THEY (and WE) have to deal with somehow. A big stick approach does not work when used generally. That is like dealing with a Medussa.

When I look at incidents such as these it gives me a stark realisation that I am done with being angry over cretins who's only purpose is to cause pain suffering to others. All I can do is to never change what is inside of me when I have a longing for peace in all its forms and try fully to become its ideal in way of life and spread those values to the best of my ability to those around me. I will never allow that my values of peace to be corrupted by hate and anger - because once you allow them to change that - their intentions to destroy us have succeeded

Peace to the world

Yep, me too.
