The actions of some in Canada over the last two days should be a reminder to everyone that the evil and violence happening in the Middle East can and will effect us at home, when we least expect it.

First an Islamic militant runs down two Canadian Soldiers in Quebec, killing one of them and severely injuring the second. The militant is later shot and killed in a confrontation with law enforcement.

Now a gunman attacks the ceremonial guard at a military monument in Ottawa, then steals a car and drives to the Canadian Parliament and gains access to the building before being shot and killed in a gun fight with the Parliament's Sgt. at Arms and other members of law enforcement.

If you've ever wondered why we need to fight these individuals over 'there', the answer is simple. If we don't fight them 'over there' we'll have to fight them 'over here'.

Rest well Cpl. Cirillo, you're watch is over.
Proverbs 28:1 The wicked flee when no one is pursuing, But the righteous are bold as a lion.
