Afghan Muslim children
Something doesn't ring right with yesterday's attack at Army base Fort Hood. First it's reported that the killer was shot and killed and then a couple of HOURS later it's reported that the killer was wounded and still alive. How can that be? Either the killer had guns on his dead body, or he didn't. Which dead body did the authorities "THINK" was the killer? Did THAT dead body have guns? This mistake could suggest that some of the dead were killed by "friendly fire." As a nation, there are lots of issues we need to address. Those issues include how the U.S. media too quickly jumps to conclusions that are oftentimes misconstrued by the American public.
More than likely the political and "Christian" waraholics will be using this attack to add more fuel to their Muslim hatred with cries of "war, more war with all the Muslims," and "aren't we glad we're already in war with the Muslims." "Kill them all." "Bomb them all." Hopefully this won't happen.. as it did in the past, with Americans responding in an irrational war-like manner towards ALL Muslims.
To keep deploying people to Iraq and Afghanistan, the military may be overlooking many things. Usually psycological problems in the military end up as suicide or murder of their spouse, etc. Start addressing these problems. Start addressing why many in the military are questioning the supposed rationale for these wars. Tell them the TRUTH.
My heart goes out to the families of the dead and to the wounded and their families as well. No words can adequately express how tragic this attack was. But until ACCURATE information is obtained, let's not turn this attack into an opportunity to ramp up anti-Muslim sentiment.
