Who are the terrorists again?
When Chechen Muslims took hostages in Beslan - they were deemed terrorists. When a Palestinian commits suicide whilst killing Jewish civilians - they are terrorists. When Iraqi's capture or kidnap foreigners, whether they kill them or not - they are terrorists.
When an American takes young school children hostage and kills them - he was abused. When American school children are filled with so much hate they storm into school and shoot their classmates - they are 'troubled' youth. When angry American employees take revenge on their former employer and kill co-workers - they are simply crazy.
Americans 'god given right' to tote guns is perfectly acceptable in American society. It's fascinating to watch the awe stricken victims ask 'how could this happen?' I ask, 'how could this not happen?'
When Muslims commit atrocities, they are terrorists and must be stopped at any costs. America places sanctions on countries, arms embargo's, and more often than not - bombs the hell out them for daring to kidnap, shoot, and/or kill Americans. Yet when Americans do the same thing to other Americans - nothing is done. That is not deemed domestic terrorism. Are the streets and schools of America not being terrorised by their obsession and acceptance of violence?
Until America understands that it is the most violent society on earth and that its culture of weapons and war are wreaking havoc around the world - and indeed in their own back yard, the violence will continue to spiral. It will continue to spiral because America embraces violences with open arms. It refuses to see the NRA as an enemy of the state. It refuses to see that Columbine children grew up in a weapons of war setting. It refuses to see that the new god, TV and video games is completely saturated with ultra-violence.
But you see, the guns support the economy and our fear of each other. The missles keep the war machine alive and young boys dead. The TV and video games keep our minds at bay and distracted from what's really going on. So i ask, who are the terrorists amongst us? Why do we allow the state to support this terror?
When will we stop killing our children?
