What we do know is thousands of Americans, military and civilian, men,
women, and children have
lost there lives today, and perhaps tens or hundreds of foreign visitors as
well.
What we don't know is who. There will be a time when an individual, group
or government is sufficiently linked to these atrocious acts, and at that
point the US should do everything
necessary to punish and ensure it can never be repeated.
But it is a waste of energy to give in to hate and rage as it is usually
misdirected. Every
man wants to protect his family and by extension his country. The macho
image of unleashing a
righteous wrath upon a deserving foe is alluring. But at 40+ and 14 years
in civvies I know
that combat is for the young and a last resort.
And so I do what I can do stem the rage of impotence; go donate a pint of
blood at the local
Red Cross, and pray for the victims.
