Why Nigerian Schoolgirl Kidnappings Are Our Business

Trigger

Like the editor of Reason magazine Nick Gillespie tries to tell us the opposite in “The Nigerian Schoolgirl Kidnappings Are None of Our Business”. Oh yes, they are!

It is unfortunate that the First Lady Michelle Obama has elevated the issue of Boko Haram’s atrocities to such a personal and emotional level in an address to the nation. It is understandable, but also regrettable.

Why Mr. Gillespie And Others Are Wrong!

1. Generally, there can be no tolerance towards wanton use of violence. Period!
2. No civilized society can tolerate fanatic killers anywhere in the world like Boko Haram to brutally abduct hundreds of school children
3. The least any civilized society can do is to offer help to bring down these murderous fanatics to stand trial and to end their bloody activities
4. If civilized societies do not stand up to this, then fanatics will continue and be imitated. Fanatics will be encouraged to do more savagery
5. Had the Clinton Administration shown more resolve against Osama Bin Laden, September 11 2001 would have probably never happened. Had Osama bin Laden and his ilk be kept on the run ...
6. Why should not a coalition of the willing help the Nigerian government to get rid of these violent and destructive fanatics. Such violent fanatics should be put on notice they can run, but they cannot hide!
