MY THOUGHTS ON TODAY'S BOSTON BOMBING

President Obama has said that whoever is responsible for the bombs in Boston will be found and held accountable. Then LOOK IN THE MIRROR ALONG WITH GEORGE BUSH! Do you have any idea how much and for how long America has screwed up people's lives all over the world and for how long and how many of them will seek revenge on our shores? We've just drawn down from a long war in Iraq that most Americans now say we never should of fought since it was based on lies. Whoopsie! We lament the 4,400 troops we lost there, but hundreds of thousands of innocent Iraqis were killed for no reason. Because we all bought lies about yellowcake uranium and weapons of mass destruction. Hundreds of thousands of Iraqis who never attacked us lay dead as a result of our mistake and this doesn't bother us? Why? Because they have a different skin color and religion? Equally huge numbers of Iraqis have been displaced from their homes and the ones who do return find their country in shambles. Wouldn't you want revenge against the US if that were you? How about Obama's practice of killing people with drones and then coming back with another drone to shoot down those present at the funeral for the first group we had shot down?!!! We are creating future generations of terrorists to attack us--that's a consequence of war. I'm seeing a lot of bragging on the news about how Bostonians are tough and how regardless of political party, Americans pull together in a crisis. I hope that's true and it was heroic for rescuers to run into clouds of smoke to find more injured. So where is this GIANT disconnect between the caring Americans who are so together as rescue response agents and the majority of Americans who care more about Kim Kardashian and American Idol than about the thousands of bombs we drop on other countries? Why do the casualties only concern us when Americans die--while our tax dollars pay for our troops to wipe out hundreds of thousands around in the middle east? Where were the heroic saviors today when the US was indiscriminately murdering thousands--in fact, they were paying for that destruction with their tax dollars as we all were. The bombings we're responsible for in Iraq alone makes this Boston event look like the tiny skirmish that it is. And do we even have any idea what Obama is currently doing in the rest of the world? I'm sorry for the victims in Boston, but I'm even sorrier that the American people are going to have to reap what they sow as long as their leaders are the biggest terrorists on the planet. It's too soon to know who was behind the attacks in Boston. But unless we can convince our leaders to avoid wars unless absolutely necessary, there will be plenty more people plotting against us. As one reporter put it, it's surprising that we haven't had more attacks in the US. So while I'm glad we had an organized crisis response to this possible/probable act of terrorism in Boston, we wouldn't need to focus so much on responses to enemies which we'd never created. An ounce of prevention...
