The Virginia Tech Massacre: Social Roots Of Another American Tragedy
Interesting, and perhaps inevitable, that an event which is a complete anomaly in the US, draws the kinds of conclusions and attention which enormous massacres which happen every bloody day in Iraq thanks to suicide bombers do not.
One hundred eighty some odd innocent men women and children killed today in Iraq by suicide bombers, umpty ump yesterday, a hundred plus the day before.........yawn. But let's make sure we slam the 'mericuns for an incident the likes of which happens once every couple of decades here but every day in Iraq and elsewhere in the ME.
Hey, shouldn't we be given a pass for this kind of stuff? Shouldn't we be allowed to stone and behead just a little bit without being criticized for being uncivilized savages?
Where's the justice in this? I mean, they get to kill, maim, massacre, behead, stone, hack off limbs, abuse their spouses, ram jets into buildings, etc., all with impunity and religious sanction to boot, yet we can't let some innocent college kid have a bit of harmless fun?
