to me there are several lessons here. # 1 I am begining to believe that an armed populaiton is safer than an unarmed one. I just watched he news and apparently after the attack on the cafe the murderers strolled down the street firing at anyone they saw- they strolled past many shops etc. If thsoe shop keepers had weapons under their counters the outcome could have been very different.
Also the Indian armed forces did nto seem as well equipped as ours or other nations. From the little I saw they did not seem to have a lot of protective gear on. They need more.
Lastly the murdered they captured seems to be a Pakastani person with a 4th grade education . A person like that is quite ignorant . It seems to me to be imperative to educate the uneducated and to beam free lessons in all subjects including freedom and democracy into these nations without pause. To infiltrate the nations with pamphlets and to try to send teachers in. We have to reach the minds and hearts of the people.
The evil man is capabable of seems to be limitless. The only hope for human beings is a changed heart - to replace the heart of stone with a heart of flesh to fill the person with Jesus and with the Holy Spirit. That is done one person @ a time with love and compassion and help and not by force.
