Liberty to think talk; but not to kill.

A man in a crowd in Iran involved in protests  said: "We want the freedom to talk, and the freedom to think. We want freedom for our spirit, ok? That's not very much to ask." [ end quote from BBC news article "Freedom craving 'fuelling Iran unrest" by Hugh Sykes, today:8:46 AM 6/22/2009

"Insulting religion?"
Quote:"The two were convicted of insulting religion after leading prayers at a pagoda for Ms Suu Kyi and other activists to be freed, her party said." [end quote]
from article in the BBC News "Burmese jailed for
Suu Kyi Prayer' about Burma jailing those who prayed for Suu Kyi to be released from prison.

Punishing crimes against humanity [genocide]:
Quote:"A Rwandan ex-deputy interior minister who tricked thousands of people into hiding on a hill where they were butchered has been jailed for genocide.

Callixte Kalimanzira, 54, was sentenced to 30 years for his role in the 1994 slaughter." [end quote in BBC News article, "Ex-minister jailed for genocide"

These quotes from news stories today in the BBC news seems to indicate that there  is a tsunami-like wave of waking up around the world. I PRAY for all nations and their leaders everywhere to realize that GOD intended humans to live free and that even GOD HIMSELF gave humans the decision to follow good by obeying GOD's laws;  or to follow evil by rejecting GOD's laws. But having said that I also do not believe that governments should promote or encourage or legitimize evil or abominations as a 'right'.  I pray that included in that spiritual tsunami is the acknowledgement that it is a sin to kill innocents and that there is punishment for that. And I PRAY that all governments everywhere begin to bring the full force of their government's power to stop evil against those who kill innocents in the womb or wherever they live.
