Humans have faced this situation often throughout history. Hoping to keep the peace, one group will appease another until the threatening group has gained total control. It takes bravery and a good dose of anger to say "No, it stops here!"

A huge round of applause to the staff at Charlie Hebdo for their current edition. While it would be easier to step back and bow to the pressure of the threat of violence, they are taking the braver and more difficult stand. Another round of applause to the French people for their show of solidarity, and for so many in Europe and around the world for standing with them.“The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.” ( Edmund Burke) ~ Michael S. Pauley
