During the last year of the air war over Europe during WWII, the Allies developed a strategy that forced German fighters into battle.  Simply put, the US bomber crews were the bait on their bombing missions over Germany. The US fighter pilot’s mission went from protecting the bombers to shooting down enemy fighter planes and gaining complete air superiority.  The plan worked but thousands of US bomber crews lost their lives during this stage of the war.

The murderous destruction of a Russian commercial airliner over Egypt and the Paris slaughter has united old WWII allies in ways previously thought unlikely, if not impossible.  Will Great Britain, the US, France, and Russia again unite as allies in the battle against radical Islam?

The pain of Paris has put in motion what will surely be a war fought outside of clear national boundary lines and against an ideology not unlike the National Socialism of Nazi Germany.

While my heart is heavy due the recent loss of life, things cannot be allowed to continue as they are!  Civilization is closer to collapse than we may realize.

Pray for strength and courage for whoever the leaders and allies prove to be.
