Here’s another quote. It is from Danzig Passage (book 5 in the Zion Covenant Series).
“Theo frowned and looked down across the city of London. In Germany, they battled the Nazis, a tangible enemy. Here, the enemy was less obvious-the apathy of people who would simply rather not have their personal comfort disturbed.”
The similarity between what happened then, during Hitler’s takeover of Europe & WWII, and what is happening now – not just in the Iraq War – but what has happened, even in Vietnam and other previous wars is striking. We tend to be passive. We tend to say it isn’t our problem, and then millions of people die, are tortured or live their lives in constant fear. I can’t imagine what it would be like to be afraid for my husband’s life, or my sons’ lives, because of some evil dictator. I can’t imagine what it would be like to not be educated (since I’m a woman), or to be unable to express what I am thinking. We have a lot to be thankful for – a lot to fight for. Maybe other people in other countries deserve that right too.
