Closing up shop

An intercontinental move and pressing personal concerns have left me unable to update this blog as often as I’d like to anymore, so I’ve decided to let it go, living on in the universe of blogs. The last nearly two years have shown me that hostage-taking is – and will continue to be – a significant tactic of terror around the globe, as the most recent cases in Pakistan and Darfur show but just a few examples. I hope that the many good organisations out there who are working to combat this crime against humanity are supported in carrying their work forward and everyday citizens donate money and time to eradicating this scourge from our planet.
