Things like this don't need to happen #Woolwich

My thoughts and prayers are with the victim of yesterdays vile, disgusting attack and i hope they get all the help and support they need right now.

After reading a few articles and watching a few videos about the attack, also after watching a video of the attacker speaking to someone's smartphone, it got me thinking. Things like this should NOT be happening to our brave and loyal soldiers, these people follow orders, there's no two ways about it, they do what they are told to do. Soldiers are tools (not in the nasty sense, the literal sense) for governments, soldiers are ordered by governments to do their bidding basically, so in no way should a soldier, who is back on his home soil after surviving what was most likely a brutal tour somewhere be getting attacked/killed.

The attacker did make me think, i mean he did have a point (don't all start attacking me because i DO NOT agree with his actions and i am disgusted by him and what he did) but if our government stopped sending our troops to other countries and interfering with their own internal problems (probably for our own gain in some way) and or just pulled our troops out of these countries, innocent people here and in America would possibly stop getting killed. Our government has ordered bombings and attacks on places and it is allowed to get away with it, you'd be a fool to think that innocent people in these countries aren't getting killed because of our government's actions. But in this point my previous point comes into play, if you have a problem with our government, aim your attacks at the government! Don't slaughter innocent people in the streets! Don't kill soldiers who have no choice but to follow orders. Or even better than any more blood being spilled at all... Stop all the terrorist attacks, here and in your own countries and maybe our government will feel like the countries are stable enough and pull our troops out! Peaceful resolution.

I despair at the state of the world when innocent people are getting caught up in political chess games involving real people and real countries. I think it boils down to a few things:

• We should stop getting involved in other countries problems
• We have enough problems of our own, sort them out first
• Let our troops defend our own country, not die needlessly in other countries or over here because of the actions of a government.

I really feel like we would be better off dealing with our own problems as a country instead of getting involved with other countries issues. I feel really sorry for all the innocent people on both sides of the coin who have died needlessly because of the actions of governments or terrorist organisations & i feel for their families.

Why in this day and age do we still need to slaughter each other?
Why do we need to get involved in other countries business?
Why can't we all just sodding well help each other to survive what is already a tough enough life for a lot of people?

I know i have written on a very sensitive subject and i am in no way agreeing with what the people in question did yesterday and i will say yet again that i think it is disgusting and it should never have happened. But at the very same time i don't think innocent people & families should have to die in other countries either. We need to stop getting involved in other countries affairs and maybe things like this won't be brought back to our own doorstep, poor innocent people dying for some asshole's idea of justice.

What a world.
