I have made this point until I am blue in the face, as have other bloggers, but until we change the educational system, both in the ME and in the US, this war will continue.  A society that desires to end life as we know it, that reveres death over life, will put and end to our precious democracy. These are dedicated haters, and they need to be reminded that God IS Love.  Why?
