Terrorism: what do we do now?

A call to action

By Jon G. Harder

The world is stunned by bombings. Dismay and shock fill media channels. The bursts of terror fuel fear and speculation. Who are these people? How can they do such heinous things to children, families, innocent civilians, and public servants?

Governments quickly declare determination to find and punish the criminals. They pledge to remain undeterred in efforts to find peaceful resolutions to age-old conflicts and to stop conspiracies. Our hearts go out to the grieving and the injured.

But what happens next? Is there something you and I can do beyond deploring the crimes and feeling outrage and shock?
