To Taste the Sweetness

We are living in days in which light and darkness are mixed together. We are witnessing times when the lines between good and evil seem to be blurred, or totally non-existent.

When terror raises its ugly head, there are many well-meaning people who would rather try to explain away the root causes of this evil than confront and stop its rampage. This desire may be seen as laudable, and even logical, except that hesitancy regarding direct confrontation with evil is perceived by that evil simply as impotent weakness. Yet, in a world wherein confusion reins, it is this trend of avoidance that is taking hold.

A perfect example of this attitude was presented recently by Britain's Conservative Party leader David Cameron, in his speech to a British and American audience on the fifth anniversary of the 9/11 attack.
