I wish I could have a conversation with you. No, no one is ever safe because this is life here on earth. From the moment we are born, someday we will die. We don't know when or how. The idea is to live life somehow without constantly being in fear.

Mass murder like this is a waste of life, and right now for a variety of reasons it's not being handled properly by our nation or globally by other nations individually or as a whole. Sadly, I don't see that changing in the near future.

However, remember, thousands of people are killed in natural disasters every year - earthquakes, avalanches, floods, tsunamis, fires, famine, and even worse governments who kill their own because of their need to control their citizens.

Life is really not easy or fair. People in the US are mostly sheltered from seeing the destructive reality of death like you all in military service are by being sent to so many areas of the world and the work you do. Your work is to lessen wasted lives like this so that only natural disaster is the threat, and for that I thank you for your service.

Summary: In an address from the State Floor of the White House, President Obama speaks to the nation about ISIL -- and our comprehensive strategy to degrade and ultimately destroy the terrorist group.

How is that working out?

Here we go again. Is it possible that we would become so accustomed to terror that terrorism would cease to be an effective tactic? That the terrorist would incite no more than a passing notice as people think "better thee than me" and move along inured to the pain and suffering? Sadly, that may be our only effective countermeasure.
