There is a lot of talk these days about a red line and
whether the use of chemical weapons in Syria crossed it.
It was crossed years ago when Syrian and other dictatorial
regimes wantonly and brutally killed millions of innocent people.
It was crossed when the Muslim Brotherhood undertook a world
holocaust, swearing to kill all those
who do not obey its religious tenets.
It was crossed when terrorists beheaded those who confronted
them, and, yes, when the youngest of those terrorists chose to become suicide
bombers
It was crossed on 9/11…and on many other times in world
history.
The red line is THE LACK OF RESPECT FOR HUMAN LIFE.
It is riding furiously around the planet on the backs of
those four horsemen, it can be found in the dung heap of lies and underhanded
connivings of political leaders, including our own. And it is nurtured by a head-in-the-sand
pervasive do-nothing attitude, and our failure to properly teach our children
what truly comprises human decency, and about its endearing beauty.
It is indeed a red line, painted as it is by the blood of
its victims.
And unless the good people of the world wake up very soon,
they may never wake up again.
