Lyrics:
Give me a word
Give me a sign
Show me where to look
Tell me what will I find
Lay me on the ground
Fly me in the sky
Show me where to look
Tell me what will I find
Oh, heaven let your light shine down
Love is in the water
Love is in the air
Show me where to go
Tell me will love be there
Teach me how to speak
Teach me how to share
Teach me where to go
Tell me will love be there
Oh, heaven let your light shine down
My heart goes out to the students who lost their lives tragically...

It was pretty clear there were no obvious links to terrorism, else everybody would have been screaming about how there were no links to terrorism and besides islam is a religon of peace.
Every time since 9/11 some mooselimb screams allahu akbar and mows down Jews or Americans, the press is quick with "There are no indications that this is terrorism."

How about all the recent deadly violence in Africa (Darfur, Sierra Leone, Congo, etc.) Was that a product of video games too?
<b>This thread is full of people lashing out blindly, trying in vain to latch onto <i>something</i> to blame.</b> The fact is, a small minority of the human race is somehow 'wired' to become natural born killers. This just isn't something that can be explained or rationalized.
The best solution I can come up with, is for science to greatly advance our understanding of how the human brain works, and then devise innovative methods to identify and treat these natural born killers before they have a chance to take their deadly toll on society.
