Why is Boston 'Terrorism' But Not Aurora, Sandy Hook, Tucson and Columbine? | Common Dreams:
"Can an act of violence be called 'terrorism' if the motive is unknown?"
TS led me to this article, which raises interesting questions indeed. However, I think it's too easy to get lost in specialized questions like this to the ignorance of larger, more pressing issues.
For example, I'd be more interested in energy being spent establishing the coup d'etat that happened in the US in 1963, and bringing those folks to justice, than in whether or not the Boston guys were "terrorists." "Nothing you can do can help a dead man."
But quibbling keeps people busy and distracts them from considering the really important issues.It's like talk radio. Let them bitch, it drains their energy and misguides their focus.
