Sniper Terrorism

In my opinion, I think this terrorism is more than just one insane white militant that has snapped. In my opinion, there is more information known than is being reported by the media. I don't think it is a far fetched idea to entertain the idea that this individual or individuals is part of a middle-eastern terrorist cell that is determined to attack the very life of workers and people in the DC metropolitan area.

Unfortunately, the latest person killed was also someone who had successfully battled cancer. Apparently, she was also married in 1992, which would have made this year her ten year anniversary.

This BS has got to stop. Our Maryland Governor has temporarily revoked the 2'nd amendment rights of people in a few counties. In my opinion, this is justified given the situation.

A lot of people are concerned about a possible police-state occurring from this, but given the alternative, I'm not sure what is worse.

Maybe I am barbaric, but if this is the work of middle-eastern terrorists, I think we should torture him, cut him into little pieces, bury him in the ground with loads of pork and send a message to the rest of the middle-east that we will not tolerate this any longer.

I'm fed up with this BS. Nobody deserves to die needlessly. The death of a man's beloved wife is a strike against each of our lives and it could just have very easily been YOUR daughter or MY mother.

The question remains, vvv, whether or not the civilised world should stoop down to the disgusting terror tactics that the USA uses or should the civilised world take the moral high ground ? I personally feel that the civilised world should take the moral high ground, rather than simply take revenge for US terrorism... who knows, perhaps such a strategy could have a Gandhian or Mandelan effect on the US policymakers.... until then, unfortunately, the world will continue to fall victim to US terrorism...
 
cool vvv. that's a rather impressive record indeed. so what exactly is people's gripe with that?

( i think you forgot to mention iraq '91, and vietnam started in 50s?)

i'm always in favor of getting stated objectives that actually make sense being accomplished at the lowest possible cost in terms of potential fallout. i do believe that in the long term that can only be accomplished when morals are employed that are beyond reproach, equitable, and based on solid and transcendent human values, or, as you say, the moral high ground.

solving the underlying problems and their causes, and not merely fiddling with symptoms, thinking long term, and not just to the end of, in democracies, rather short reigns where window dressing often rules supreme at the incredible costs we've witnessed too often.

so, i am all in favor of messrs gandhi and mandelas modus operandi, maybe a spot of buddhism added in, and there we go.

that would certainly beat the uncountable vicious cycles of attack and retaliation we've seen in so many spots of the world for such a very long time.

cheers

ah, a possible gripe might be that we have ourselves to blame for the hatred being targeted at ourselves, hatred that is finding forms of expression that unfortunately aren't merely verbal, hmm.

cause and effect, so to speak.

iraq 91, yes, well, not quite sure to what extent we brought that upon ourselves, as evidence isn't quite conclusive as to whether saddam informed the then us ambassador to baghdad of his invasion plans or not. we'll have to leave that to future historians down the road to determine.

vietnam in the 50s, well, in 1954 the us offered military assistance to the french in their battle against ho chi minh and the viet minh.

Of course! The clear solution to any threat is to cede freedom to the government.

Now that a different regulation is in place, there is no doubt that the serial murderer committing these atrocities will see the value in obeying the law and will mend his ways. (Right? :confused: )

And it only makes sense - what with all the 'recreational' shooting going on in urban Maryland parking lots, it must be hard to distinguish the sniper's shots amongst all the firing...

If only we had been more enthusiastic about Sen. Feinstein's call for national anti-terror ID cards and internet censorship, this sniper would have been stopped in his tracks! But don't give up hope yet, the Military is now on the case (it works in lots of 3rd-world dictatorships, why not here?)
