I put together the collage of Paris seen on the left after I visited there in 2005, during a much more tranquil period. It was a great trip and France is a wonderful place. However, Paris and the rest of France is anything but tranquil today after yesterday's Bastille Day attack, when a man drove a truck through crowds of people watching the annual Bastille Day fireworks on Nice's waterfront promenade. At least 80 people were killed in what was most likely another act of terrorism. France has been especially hard hit by these terrorists over the past year, including the coordinated attacks in Paris this past November that killed 130 people. It appears these deadly incidents around the globe will not end until the world's leaders unite to put an end to Islamic State and any nation that encourages and supports this kind of terrorism. I am not a fan of war, but I think it is finally time to take action. Too many innocent people are dying, and if nothing is done, will continue to die.
