Suffering is a gift. In it is hidden mercy.

At 7:15pm, the low buzz of a drone was heard overheard. Seconds later, an enormous explosion engulfed the area, destroying the boat and several nearby homes. Sources say 46 Watertown residents were killed in the missile strike, including 12 children. ……

Of course, that’s not what happened. But if it did, wouldn’t we find it unconscionable? If so, then why are Americans okay with our government doing this to people in other countries?
