We are Boston today but will we be tomorrow?

I keep seeing people posting about the bombings in Boston and my heart feels such sorrow. So much hate in the world exists and so much of it is in our own country. This was a terrorist attack for sure and to hit on Patriots Day of all days. In many ways the first shots at Lexington was a domestic terrorist attack. Yet we celebrate it for we were on the side of victory, those cowards who attacked yesterday will not be.

This country was built on terrorism, we use it still today. Obama and his drones are just the latest arsenal in a never ending war on people. How can we as a nation be upset at what happened yesterday yet so non caring about what happens through out the world? Are the victims of President Obamas drones less human than those victims in Boston?

I think not. The family, friends, and nation of those drones victims cry and grieve for them just as we are for those who were hurt or killed in Boston. We must condemn cowardly attacks no matter who is behind them. Even if those attacks come from inside this very country.

Until we as a nation stop hating others we will never see an end to terrorism. Until we have had enough of hate and blame this shall never stop. Today the world is saying We Are Boston but sadly tomorrow we will continue hating and blaming each other. The terror never ends.
