Terrorists oppose nations such as the United States and Australia not because of what we have done but because of who we are and because of the values that we hold in common. ↗

Nations, like stars, are entitled to eclipse. All is well, provided the light returns and the eclipse does not become endless night. Dawn and resurrection are synonymous. The reappearance of the light is the same as the survival of the soul. ↗
