Our wishes and prayers for peace & comfort to the victims of this senseless and avoidable calamity.

Futile, lose-lose, destructive, toxic .. are some words that come to mind to describe the actions of the terrorists on the field. The only ones who may find this satisfying are a small handful who, in their lust & greed for power, use these unfortunate souls as pawns. These pawns are victims too.

We hope this is a wake-up call to each and every indidivual to be alert at every moment and at every place - whether it be a mall, a theater, a hotel, or a neighbourhood in the urban areas, or a quiet, remote, place deep in the rural areas. A billion watchful eyes is a formidable force. But this force can be squandered without proper support from the administration. Imagine a nationwide, central, terrorist hotline. Something simple to dial as 123.. Something that will cut through local/regional power politics and traitor networks. We need an effective, active, alert, and swift central network.

We hope this is a wake-up call to all the officials in the administration who, for personal greed, help breed the underworld networks. These officials are part of the country, and yet bring cancer into it, thinking they’re immune - until the victims includes one of their own. They are like an arm of the body that thinks that inhaling smoke will only hurt the lungs, and the arm is safe. They are victims too, but willing ones.

For all that support and perpetrate inhumanity, we pray for their hearts to be injected with wisdom, courage, grace, and compassion - in short, the STRENGTH to be HUMAN.

Peace to all.
