Part of President Obama's address regarding the massacre:
Paris itself represents the timeless values of human progress. Those who think that they can terrorize the people of France or the values that they stand for are wrong. The American people draw strength from the French people’s commitment to life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness. We are reminded in this time of tragedy that the bonds of liberté and égalité and fraternité are not only values that the French people care so deeply about, but they are values that we share. And those values are going to endure far beyond any act of terrorism or the hateful vision of those who perpetrated the crimes this evening.

ReplyDeleteWe should be Beirut too. 43 innocents were killed by ISIS bombs just 2 days ago.
ReplyDeleteWe are anyone and everyone who has been the victim of violence in the name of distorted religion and quest for power. Inhumane people, groups, and societies who violate others for ANY reason in any city or country of the world are ugly and need to be held accountable.
DeleteBeautifully said Kate.
