Revelation 6:3-4 NCV When the Lamb opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, "Come!" Then another horse came out, a red one. Its rider was given power to take away peace (prosperity, rest) from the earth and to make people kill each other (butcher, slaughter, to maim violently, in streets), and he was given a big sword (assassins sword, terrorist, loud, mighty, sore afraid).
<blockquote>“We have so devalued human life in our society that for many people it is a small thing to kill another person.”

A Taliban attack on a joint NATO/Afghan Army base has injured at least 45 troops.
The lone terrorist drove a vehicle packed with explosives to the gates of the base in Zurmat. Most of the wounded soldiers were hit with shards of broken glass. All of the wounded are reportedly Afghani soldiers.
Provincial government spokesman Rohullah Samon told the Associated Press the bomb exploded just before reaching the gate. The explosion was so powerful that it blew out windows two miles away from the blast site.
Mortars were also fired into the base after the initial blast.
Taliban insurgents have been increasing attacks on Afghani personnel in light of the scheduled 2014 withdrawal of foreign troops. The Taliban released a statement they had broken into the base but that was denied by both Afghani and NATO officers.
