To the Editor,

We’ll never forget 9-11-2001, ditto Pearl Harbor. So have we forgotten, or did we not understand the full implication of, and the continuing terrorist death dealing worldwide? Twenty-plus years’ worth ever since.

Now, thousands of hostage individuals face monstrous mutilation and/or death, random or unfathomly motivated. America, stop this.

The world needs and wants your leadership by example; military actions fallout, whatever is necessary. NATO wants us up front.

We planted generations of hopeful promises, civilized governance, and degrees of freedom; let’s see these fulfilled, once and for all, to be rid of the ongoing terrorist organizations with our immediate, appropriate responses. Do the right.

Let us all pray.

Elizabeth Lincoln
