Failed Terror Attach
It's really a coup that British intelligence was able uncover and defuse the intended terrorist attack on international air flights yesterday, and a credit to them that they were able to do so.
But we really have to come to grips with the underlying causes of these kinds of incidents and take effective action to handle the abuses that creates the climate that permits this kind of insane behavior.
And the first place to look is the lack of opportunity for individual betterment in so many of the people in areas from which terrorism springs.
I think the human rights videos of Youth for Human Rights International are a great first step in bringing about an appreciation of the rights of one's fellow man. That has to be the first step in remedying injustice.
