The mystery around the disappearance of the Malaysian jet gets more and more complicated. Our hearts go out to the families and friends of the passengers and crew member on the missing jet. Israel is wise to tighten its security with a missing jet. One of the scenarios mentioned in the news is that the plane might be highjacked to be used later as a bomb. Unfortunately Israel could be a target, so could the USA.
The lesson we should be learning from this situation is that the world still harbors many hateful people who only care about their own power. Mr. Obama kept telling America before the 2012 election that the terrorists were weakened, we had nothing to fear and the current administration could simply negotiate with rough nations and they would listen. Unfortunately this is not the case. Dictators and terrorists can see someone who is weak and who does not follow through on their threats if a red line is crossed!
We should be learning a lesson that to ensure peace we must be prepared for war. No civilized nation wants to go to war but we can only prevent it with peace through strength. Unfortunately under the current administration America is no longer the leader of the free world. We are cutting back on the size of our military and dramatically cutting our defense spending. Without a strong America, there will be no leaders for the free world. The leaders will be North Korea, Iran, and Putin. With no strong country to stop them, want to be dictators will show up around the world. WWI, the war to end all wars, began under similar times. History repeats itself, but we can also learn from history and hopefully prevent similar situations in the future or we risk making the same mistakes.
