Eheads At The Fountain

At The Fountain      Sallies the father of Umar Farouk is to be commended, for he is as rare as Abraham the father of faith.  Instead of protecting his son at all cost, he looked at the bigger picture to see what was just, and that killing unsuspecting people on a airplane is anything but just!  I mean what do these terrorist hope to resolve?  Their outcome can only be, a death sentence or life in prison.  Now formal wars have formal outcomes, but there is no outcome for a terrorist or a terrorist war, other than jail or death.
  

   Arvin yes, here we had a father who was gripped in pain, over his son, and still he took the steps to warn authorities that his son was behaving in an unreasonable and a violent way.  The story between parent and child usually is that the parent wants the child to be something that the child does not what to be: to wear a style of clothes that does not fit and the child feels, like an alien in their own skin.  However in this case, the father reported his son to authorities, which I can only imagine, caused him brutal heartache, but still, he was compelled and impelled to report his son, who was considering to commit such a misguided reach for justice.
