Take thousands of well meaning, well educated and well programmed young men, give them weapons and turn them loose on a remote and desolate landscape populated with poor wretches who cannot escape yet have managed to survive and thrive in their own culture, descendants of the Khans, the dispossessed, the ignorant and watch the chaos, confusion, murder and mayhem emerge. No this is no computer shoot 'em up...this is Afghanistan...the most immoral act of military terrorism ever perpetrated in the name of innocent victims of a senseless act of sabotage in a far away city. We use the dead to justify our blood lust because they cannot speak for themselves. We are transforming humanity into a grey goo of righteous indignation. If we are asking Mohammed's followers to turn the other cheek, it is about time we turned our own.
