Contrast

Today, al qaeda struck again, this time is in London, 37 innocent people lost their lives while riding to work. Recall just a few days ago, Live8 concert took place at 8 cities around the world to raise money for the elimination of poverty in Africa, to save lives. Today, terrorists aimed to destroy lives. What a stark contrast!

At the same time, I was thinking, why do people never remember? After 9.11, why do we still give terrorists chance to put us in harms way? Why do we always have to wait after tragedy happened to realise we need to raise the alert and take action?
