When you go to a lawyer and have a situation where all you need to do is some administrative routine to address your issue, the lawyer, not being able to litigate and therefore collect huge fees for his billable hours, will tell you that there is nothing that can be done to redress the wrong you have suffered.
A military commander is employed to develop winning strategies for winning conflicts/engagements/delivering the results his country is seeking: it is in their interest to continue engagement for this is the 'thrill' of the job. This is why people have an interest in joining the military, to protect and serve and fight and win. We must always be the one to win. Well sometimes we have to lose some to win something more. In the case of Iraq, Afghanistan and Iran coming on the set, we may have to 'lose' by military standards in order to win diplomatically/strategically.
Cutting off the funding source for these deviants and terrorists is the first and most effective step we, as a global community, can take to disarm/dismantle their operations. Let us seek a more peaceful resolution to these issues for the tact we are taking is not sustainable.
In order to effect real change in our relationships with one another we each need to realize that we affect the quality and quantity of one another's lives in how we choose to interact, react, and whether we choose to be proactive or reactive.
Social justice is affording every human being the ability to thrive; providing or networking the resources they need to succeed in whatever they determine is most beneficial to them and their community to engage in as long as it is legal and adding value.
When people can be mindful to protect the rights of one another to be safe,feel a sense of security, and well-being, then we can materially affect the amount of pollutants we release into the stratosphere collectively as a global community.
It sounds like all we need to do is learn to love one another. Maybe some of us first need to learn how to love ourselves in order to accomplish this. Whatever it takes we need to be about the business of effecting real change in the most basic of our government's duties and responsibilities to its citizenry and within the global community of citizens of this planet Earth.
There appears to be a lack of social order currently, and this is deeply disturbing to those of us with a heightened consciousness of our relationship/responsibility to each other.
It is imperative that we put an end to our civic apathy. This is and always has been a democracy which is a government of the people, by The People. 'The People' have been absent from the equation for too long, and we have inherited the result: chaos and a nation divided. Not where we want to be.
Barack and this organization possess the tools to help us get where we all want to be together as a United Team of citizens. Although I am currently distraught and awed by what is transpiring among our nation's leadership I now have hope for tomorrow being a better day. I stand ready to do what I can to enable this turnaround. I hope that you stand with me.
Let's fight the good fight! Peace be with us.
