When A bomb exploded in the Moscow metro in June 2004 at the peak of rush-hour in the busiest underground system of the world, the reaction of President Putin at the time was swift. "We do not negotiate with terrorists. We destroy them!"
While giving a speech in Israel not long ago addressing the Knesset, President George W Bush said the following, "Some seem to believe we should negotiate with terrorists and radicals, as if some ingenious argument will persuade them they have been wrong all along. We have heard this foolish delusion before. As Nazi tanks crossed into Poland in 1939, an American senator declared: 'Lord, if only I could have talked to Hitler, all of this might have been avoided.' We have an obligation to call this what it is - the false comfort of appeasement, which has been repeatedly discredited by history."
If one must die for defending one's faith and belief, it's God's will. Trust our Lord, HE has been my strength.
