Today is July 7, 2005, and the terrorists have hit London, just as the G 8 Conference in Gleneagle, Scotland was beginning. Why?
There is no why, unless you are as evil and mad as those who committed these acts and those in Madrid, New York, and Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, USA. Of course, there are many more atrocities committed each day in other countries by people who say they do it for "God" or "Allah" or some "cause." But the truth is that they do it because, if not totally deceived, they are just evil.
Their purpose is to destroy and create FEAR wherever they attack. Fear.... Fear is the greatest enemy of mankind, for it keeps us from doing things we would otherwise do and enjoy.
Long ago, I made a vow to myself (and I know what real fear is) that if I feared a thing, I would not let it stop me, no matter what the consequences to myself.
September 11, 2001, caused the USA to fear to take planes without taking precautions which now border on subjugating our Rights, under the US Bill of Rights.
Fear robs us of action of enjoying the world God made for us to enjoy.
I don't fear death; I fear inaction when faced with someone who's intent on harming me or those around me. Lambs to the slaughter is far more terrifying to me than the wolf who attacks the flock.
I say: Do not let these People of the Lie and of Fear and of Death defeat you with their tactics. We are greater than Evil. Though Evil will sometimes win; it will not always win; and in the end, it will be defeated beyond its comprehension.
Londoners have faced worse than this during WWII; America has faced worse than this in the Revolutionary, French & Indian Wars, and in the horrendous Civil War which pitted brother against brother.
Make no mistake, this is a WAR. It is a war not against any country, but against the evil behind the terrorist attacks.
London is not the only one called to stand up and face fear: the entire world rises in rage and anger and courage and strength to fight this evil which threatens us on every hand.
So, be not afraid. Terrorists strike when and where no one thinks they will. How can you prepare? BE NOT AFRAID whatever may come, and when it comes, for it will, take your stand; hold your head high; and charge as one who has no fear. Whatever the outcome, you will have prevailed.
