New England Man Charged in Terror Plot

Today the Wall Street Journal reported that a dual US-Egyptian citizen was charged in a terror plot that did not unfold because of the groups inability to obtain automatic weapons.

Our society seems to brandish a heavy axe called despair. Anyone who dares to suggest change, must place their head on the chopping block, and survive the popular opinion that things are all beyond our ability to change them for the better.

It is this belief that peaceful means are useless which perpetuates violence as a means to a political end. At the same time, our US system was designed to be change-resistant; because, too much change, too quickly, leads to an unstable government.

Have we in fact found our way into a tyranny? Is any real change impossible through peaceful means? Tarek Mehanna, a graduate from a pharmacy-school; and, the man charged in the above mentioned terrorist plot must have thought so.

What do you think?
