This is an outrage! 300 girls kidnapped by the Boko Harem (which means "Western Education is Sinful") from their school to be sold as sex slavees.Their government does nothing.
They are threatening to kidnap more. The girls are mostly Christian with some that are Muslims that are more "westernized".
My heart weeps for such atrocities.

Sterton and Inukshuk, I agree, this is very very serious and disturbing.
Have you noticed that dispite all of our technology we seem to be "losing" and missing alot of people lately?
A plane full of people and a school full of young women. We couldn't find Saddam Hussein for years and leaders of drug cartels seem to be beyond our knowledge of their whereabouts. Leaders of terrorists group proceed without resistance.
Is it because we only know how to intervene if terrorists stay on the grid of technology? It seems obvious that if you want to terrorize a country or people, one merely has to ensure that technology isn't part of the plan. Remember how shocked we were that the United States could have their own planes used against them to "bomb "the twin towers?
We are receiving tapes showing the leaders of the Boko Harem telling us what they plan to do with these girls. Somehow this information is getting to us. How?
We send thousands of people up in the air on planes every year and the only tracking system we rely on are "little black boxes" that are located on the very planes that go missing. With all of our technology why is this the primary source for information when we lose a plane?
Maybe it's time to admit that "Houstan, we have a problem"?
