I woke up this morning to the news that there were explosions that went off as runners were completing the Boston Marathon. As the morning went on, it was clearer that this was an act of terrorism.
Whilst the victim and their families have my condolences, it just goes to show how the actions of a few can have profound impact on many. I'm sure there will be increased focus on security and intelligence, with agencies scratching their heads wondering how they can prevent something like this in the future, but the truith of the matter is you cant - as soon as one loophole closes, people find another. There are crazy people out there and where there is a will, there is a way - particularly when some are willing to risk all to find a way.
I think the only way through this is via education. At least I can rest in the trust that the US will not use this as a catalyst to go to war into another oil rich nation.
