Today's word is Silence. A lot of blogs are going silent today in honor of the 35 dead from Virgina Tech. A worthwhile effort to highlight the tragedy and let the world know we mourn our dead. Still there is a but...This is in no way meant to belittle what many others are doing to honor the 35 slain from Virgina Tech, no matter how you look at it, that was a tragedy.
In Iraq today at least 21 people were killed.
Yesterday 72 people were killed.
I could continue the list, with so many dead for each day of the week. A day of the week does not pass without multiple deaths. We are creating the next generation of terrorists. We see 35 of our dead as a tragedy, they see 35 of their dead as a normal day of the week. The young see their country men and women dying around them, literally hundreds and thousands are being killed and what is the reaction from the country that started this to liberate their country, to bring democracy and freedom to their country, to make their country safer?
Silence.
