Mumbai

Some understanding needed...


Anyone talking root causes yet?




Shall we blame foreign policy?



Has anyone mentioned 'comeuppance' yet?

Quick, apologists for terrorists. And you know who you are. Before you start to see the people effected in this act as individual human beings deserving of your compassion, or God forbid the terrorists as murdering bastards, switch off your emotions are start muttering your stuff. Come on. You know what's required. Understanding. Root causes. Foreign policy. Get Bush and Blair in there if you can. And never, not for one minute, see this for what it plainly is. Inexcusable. Unforgivable. Unbearable.

I think you mean justify rather than understand - understanding terrorist acts is essential to trying to prevent them. It's attempts to justify them by reference to past and current grievances that get the blood boiling - murder is murder, no matter why you did it.

Knowing that terrorists carried out an atrocity because of some deluded sense of religion doesn't make them any less murderous bastards, but it does give a better idea of how they work and how they can be best combated.

No Matt. Just for today, I mean understand.

Barbarism, pure and simple. Humans are nuts, pure and simple. Despair at the cruelty of people to people. Despair at their utter stupidity. Despair and weep.
