Indignation

No, my Lord,

Mercy, for their wretched souls, I could

Never ask

Let them burn into eternity for their atrocious crimes,

Committed against humanity 

And

Against the law of Thy infinite love !*

*After burning a Jordanian pilot alive, decapitating two Japanese 
journalists and killing a woman for not wearing shoes, yesterday the 
fanatics decapitated a father and a son in Iraq. When all this end?

Actions do have consequences, the blood of these innocent victims cries out for justice. May it come swiftly . . . psalm 109

Alas, my dearest friend, David, no psalm alone will stop those monsters but the hands of men that will carry the sword of HIS justice!

Dear friend, Rajat, yes, me too I have seen those videos and myself as you am appalled BUT let us imagine for a second to be in the position of these unfortunate victims and then we will realize the magnitude of their crimes! Thank you!

Demetrios, good write. You sound like my husband he says drop a bomb on them, he spent 20 years in the navy and 15 of that in Japan. I just want it to stop :'( Blessings Eve

My dear friend, Eve, thank you for your understanding, however, we have to deal with the responsible that commit these crimes and not with everyone that might happen to be there against their will!

You are so right...I know we are supposed to be forgiving but how can we be in the face of pure evil? Well written...Hugs, Deb
