Tears Don't Protect Against Murder

◼ The rivers of tears keep flowing, but tears don't protect against murder. Neither do peace treaties. - Sultan Knish

Tears don't protect against murder. They don't stop killers from killing. They don't prevent the authorities from looking the other way when the killings happen because there is something in it for them. They don't bring the terrorists to justice. They don't even ensure that the truth will be told, rather than the lie that rationalizes the terror.
