Enough

This isn't an original thought, but I'm tired of the cartoon tributes, sidewalk murals, and hashtag campaigns in the wake of terrorist attacks. It's sweet, it's genuine, but it's also impotent and doesn't change a damn thing. In the words of JFK, reason does not always appeal to unreasonable men.

No matter what you do, say, think, or feel, if someone is willing to strap a bomb on their chest and kill random innocent strangers then your well wishes will do squat to change their mind. Tolerance only works when it's a two way street, and this is as one way as you can get.

Quit sugarcoating what's going on, and respond in the only way that matters, and the only way that will END the threat: find the madmen, and kill the madmen.
