You may wonder why I would report such a thing on a blog about chasing your dreams. Well, the dark side of human nature has to be confronted in any discussion about our potential for doing good. We can't ignore the worst in us just because we aspire for the best.
I will link now to the Times Online story in which I first read the report. The details are chilling. It makes me feel that in some respects, human beings have made no progress at all.
The worst quote: "Survivors told The Times that entire families were killed, some to the chants of Allahu Akbar — God is Greatest."
We need to learn how to COEXIST!

I read these articles yesterday and they were almost too difficult to finish. In the face of the murder of children committed in the name of God, the Nigerian government simply says that it will take "strategic" action. Really? Sit around and strategize? I'm not an advocate of needless force or violence, but how much strategy is required to rise up and defend the world's most innocent members who cannot defend themselves!?
