Rise Up

It really puzzles me when it comes to how humans process and react to circumstances, for instance, 300 girls are kidnapped by lowlife cowardly terrorists, while the world community sits back and says, " oh what a shame". Well im sorry words of outrage do not take action, people who care take action and deliver on their words. Their is current technology that can find these cowards and expert soldiers highly trained for extraction missions, and precision snipers who can kill up to a mile away, yet bombings, kidnappings, and threats from these cowards continues so blatantly its like they are laughing at the rest of the world. If i was a younger man i would go myself and do what i could, but the pounding of my hoofbeats for a sixty year old man just wont cut it . When is enough enough, when will people rise up and quit voicing and start marching. When Hitler tried to conquer Europe and slaughter The Jewish nation the world declared war on him. He was a terrorist. When the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor the US immediately declared war and took action. Nobody wants a war but war is necessary when you have tyrants and terrorists who think they can have their way with no consequences. Write your MP, your member of Congress and tell them enough is enough. Do nothing and things will continue as they are. Rise Up!
