Where do we go from here?
I am more convinced than ever that war and violence are evil and that love is the greatest power in the universe. King said that he was concerned about a better world, justice, brotherhood, and truth. “When one is concerned about these, he can never advocate violence. For through violence you may murder a murderer but you can’t murder murder...Through violence you may murder a hater, but you can’t murder hate.” Only light can put out darkness.Where do we go from here? Violence can murder a terrorist but it will not destroy terror. America, this is where we are: we are murdering the terrorists. We must change. Violence only begets violence. We have become what we sought to destroy; we have become what we hated. Love seeks to create, uplift, restore, reconcile, construct, build, support, and dignify. We must love.

Leah,
There's this bumper sticker I pass all the time that makes me smile. It says "I think when Jesus said 'love your enemy' he meant 'don't kill him'".
In other words, isn't murder neato?!
