History Lesson

I must admit I never thought I'd live to see the worst days in the history of mankind starting to repeat themselves. Had we not all learned our lessons from World War 2?  Weren't 60 million people lost in battle, bombings and concentration camps enough to lose? 

The similarities between 1938 and 2015 are scary. We are once again threatened with the rapid uprising of an ideology that wishes to eliminate any and all differing views. An ideology that spreads its views through sadistic murder, torture, fear, rape, enslavement and the degradation of it's "enemies". An ideology that pushes to expand it's physical territory over the borders of sovereign nations by annihilating local militia and slaughtering all resisters. They have a detailed handbook, just as the Nazis had Mein Kampf. They are crazed with power and their manifesto of hatred.

And just like 1938, the astonished leaders of the world watch in horror but refuse to recognize this threat for what it is. As in 1938, they flirt with "appeasement', thinking all men can be rational and are willing to negotiate. They think they can battle for "hearts and minds" and that jobs will defer jihadists. They are wrong. 

There is true evil in the world 

And as we learned in World War 2, there is a time for peace and a time for war.
