Boston Marathon Bombing
It is all horrific. ALL horrific.
All the victims deserve our thoughts. By that I mean ALL the victims. Not just those in Boston but also the many hundreds and possibly thousands of innocent men, women and children subjected to even greater levels of indiscriminate violence in drone attacks against mainly civilian areas. Those whos lives are placed in horror as "collateral damage" are no less deserving of our thoughts. I could and would never condone any acts such as these or in Boston but there is no need to ask why it happened. It would take a thousand or more instances like this to even begin to approach the death, disfigurement and misery inflicted upon other communities by the USA and our own country. This is the comment and debate to be had, not simply who did this. The west has brought this upon itself by its own delusions of racial and societal pre eminence and its intolerance of the views and beliefs of others. I wish it were not so but we have sowed the seeds ourselves and become, in the eyes of much of the world, legitimate targets
