The World

It is sad today to see all the problems of death and destruction in the world, much of it done as religious terrorism, as far as terrorism is concerned we in the UK a pretty safe, we do not suffer as much as people in other parts of the world, we are lucky we can walk the streets in some safety and have the right to say what we feel within reason, but many have not a hope in their own countries, they are limited to what they might say, whatever you might say can and often does bring retribution, possible death usually in a terrifying way, how can this be in todays day and age, it seems that half the world has progressed forward in leaps and bounds, but in others it has gone back to the dark ages, democracy is not allowed, criticism of the ruling people can bring nasty treatment not only for the alleged  offender but his/her family as well, beheading, stoning and throwing people of the top of buildings, we see this and sit on our hands and say its their problem but its not it is everyone's, the world has to decide just what is acceptable or not and ensure that the world conforms to the rules and enforce the rules with out fear.
