There'll always be an England

This blog entry is a special one to my English pals. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.

Sadly, the evil that is terrorism has visited another nation and fed itself with the blood of innocents. It underscores my view that this is not a nuisance to be contained, or a mindset to be understood. It is a ravenous cancer upon the civilized world and one which will not respond to treatment. It must be excised.

The savage bastards who derive joy from the wanton slaughter of humans must be extinguished from the face of the earth, the fields that produce such vile fruit plowed under with salt. There is no reasoning, there is no dialogue, there is no discussion which can dissuade the psychopath. There are temporary, illusory reprieves in which these serial-killers-on-a-grand-scale may lie below our sightline, but it is just that...a temporary illusion, brought about by their tactical choices, not by any actions of ours.

The blood of these innocents, the most recent layer of countless others, cries out to Heaven. Today, let us mourn the lost, the injured, the scarred. Let us reflect back on lives gone, lives crushed, families upended, friendships decimated. Let us honor the memories, severally, of those who were the victims of this bestial cruelty. Then, let us cement that honor of these and all the others who have fallen into the maw of savage, brazen evil...and blot the Earth spotless of the trace of these murderous, barbaric bastards. There will never be peace with terrorists. There can be peace without them. Let us pray for victory over evil.
