murder murder murder

Something I wrote a few days ago when I wasn't near a computer.

Thinking about how various suicide bombings and attacks happen everyday in the Middle East. I have heard people before say that we don't know what it is like to live with constant terrorism. They are right. We do not know what it is like to have daily mass murders. Those of us in the (dare I say) "civilized" world don't condone mass murder, so therefore it is not a commonplace event. When we do experience mass murder it is a shock, and the person or persons responsible deemed insane. It's a bottom-line truth that sane people do not go around killing each other. I look at the recent mass murders that have taken place, the Madrid and London bombings and last week's suicide bomb which went off at an American humvee with children all around it, and it is very clear to me that the perpetrators are insane. There is nothing more to explain away about their character unless it be the accusation of pure evil. I cannot see how so many in this world try to empathize with the "plight" of these murders just because they kill in the name of their God. We need to start sending boxes of straight jackets to the Middle Eastern governments. Oh, but that would be violating their human rights, wouldn't it? I say we find these Jack Muhammed the Rippers and Charles al-bin Mansons, put them in the pig skin straight jackets they deserve, make this world a safer place, and make room for the most basic of all human rights- to survive.
