nonsense is the only thing you can talk about this incident.
it makes no sense.

the idea that any political advantage; moral victory; act of closure or revenge; waging of holy war - could be achieved by the slaughter of innocents....

i don't get it.
how can it have significance...other than mindless brutality.
its just the same kind of angst behind Columbine, Hungerford, Dunblane.

The perpetrator, a member of our society - may have thought he had a political agenda, but he was just sick.

To interpret it as a response to the activities of our soldiers carrying out our foreign policy is to invest it with a dignity it has no proper claim to.
