The statement that President Obama made in a speech after the Aurora, CO mass shooting gave me some insight about how empty the words of a politician can be. He made known that whoever is guilty will be punished. He stated that they were gathering as much information about the suspect as possible. He then went on to say that what we will never know is why a person chooses to terrorize fellow human beings.
In listening to his voice this statement struck a chord in me. Please know that I in no way condone the use of terror and murder. In fact I am against the way that President Obama is using the drone technology to kill people. I understand he is proud of the high number of Al Qaeda leaders that have been targeted and killed by drone strikes and special force strikes. There are humans who have been terrorized and killed by drones who are not terrorists. The fact is that we the people do not know who is eliminated by proxy. Civilians have died, men, women, and children. A killing machine with no emotion or self regulation that terrorizes my fellow human beings.
Is it acceptable to let our military continue this practice in light of what it was like to have a human act as a machine with no off button in his soul? I think the suspect of what happened last Saturday in Aurora may have tried to express with his action what it must be like for people living outside of the U.S. to be terrorized. No chance to get away from a relentless remote controlled machine.
Mr. President Obama with all due respect to you how can you condone what you condemn about terror and killing? At some point it all must stop and we must be willing to embrace God's will. I was taught that forgiveness, grace, and peace is the truth that holds justice. Use the same ideology to end the killing that goes on in the name of the U.S. Focus on funneling the money from the military to education, housing and food for Americans. Use military to stop things like the epidemic of rape in the Congo. Find it in your heart to end drone attacks. Put an end to the selling of automatic weapons and ammunition in the U.S.
My heart goes out to all of the human beings that lived and died through what happened in that movie theater. No matter what is done it will never bring back the life you knew prior to such tragedy. You are all being told to not let it define who you are. I hope that it does define that there is NO justification for imposing such terror for any reason, ever.
