Re: Paris.
Dear Jukka,
You seem to be an equal opportunity offender. You verbally attack the black population here in the U.S., our Presidents, a former UK Prime Minister, the leading political figure in Europe, and the honorable attempt to form and maintain a unified Europe, none of which is appreciated. Perhaps you'd like to go back to the age of war within Europe.
In Myanmar, the Buddhist majority has forced the the Muslin minority into displaced persons camps.
As for gun violence in the U.S., there has been a continued round of mass shootings on roughly a weekly basis. A nut job or pair will decide that, if he/she/they want to end their lives, which is frequently the case, they will take as many others with them as possible. Efforts to tighten the ability of owning a gun have been repeatedly thwarted in Congress, always citing the second amendment to the Constitution. However, a close reading of this amendment reveals that its reason for existence has long since passed. When there was a mass shooting in Australia, the country quickly enacted very tight gun ownership regulations.
So, whether it is terrorists in Lebanon, Paris, or blowing up a Russian plane in Sinai, the U.S. has its own version of generally solo nut cases that perform similar acts. With ISIS, as with Al qaeda, the standard operation is a coordinated attack.
Even if ISIS is defeated, there are others that will create mass killings within their own or neighboring countries. One wonders whether we have all gone collectively insane.
Regards,
Richard
