Tragic Terrorist Attack in Boston

@MontereyJack,

How come you got voted down, Jack? There sure are some people here at A2K that have great difficulty with the truth.

Some more honest Americans:

======================

One candidate is a car bombing in Beirut in 1985, The car was placed outside a mosque. The bomb was timed to go off when people were leaving to make sure it killed the maximum number of people. It killed, according to the Washington Post, 80 people. It wounded over 250, mostly women and girls leaving the mosque. There was a huge explosion so it blew up the whole street, killing babies in beds and so on and so forth. The bomb was aimed at a Muslim sheik who escaped. It was set off by the CIA in collaboration with British intelligence and Saudi intelligence and specifically authorized by William Casey, according to Bob Woodward's history of Casey and the CIA. So that is a clear-cut example of international terrorism. Very unambiguous and I think it is one of the candidates for the prize for the peak year of 1985.

Don't read it unless you want to stay up at night wondering just how evil we really are.

Read the facts, and you won't have to wonder any more.
You'll know exactly why so much of the world despises us.

Evil? What's been done -is being done- in all our names most certainly is!

@izzythepush,

Please share with me izzy how you can tell whether or not my outrage over Saddam's brutality was faux or sincere? That's a neat trick.

@Finn dAbuzz,

The fact that your outrage is reserved just for America's enemies, you're being similarly dyspeptic about North Korea right now. Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, the UAE, Colombia and Honduras all get a free pass.

Human rights abuses are only an issue when they conflict with your desire to make an extra couple of bucks.

@izzythepush,

So my outrage, if reserved, for American enemies is insincere?

Interesting logic.

This may come as a surprise to you, but I do not express all of my outrage in this forum.

I don't think though that I will waste any time defending my character to an arrogant twit such as yourself. Kindly go **** yourself.

Some will have been tricked by what you probably will think was a deft move on your part, Finn, and tho' I truly hate to have those poor folks trust in you crushed, you didn't answer Izzy's question RIGHT AFTER you specifically asked him,

Given that you are one of the shittiest propagandists I've ever come across, I firmly believe that that's an eminently sensible move on your part.

@Finn dAbuzz,

I'm not saying your outrage is necessarily insincere, but it certainly plays second fiddle to your mercantile instincts.

@izzythepush,

Do you think the UK would be any better than the US if it still had the power it had, say, in the late 19th century, Izzy?

@JTT,

I really don't know. There wouldn't have been the levels of incompetence that typified Vietnam and Iraq though.

But saying tragedy brings out the good in Americans sure sounds good!
This is the type of restorative speak used during heartbreaking times like the Boston calamity.
So one can be forgiven for speaking so because this is what we fervently want to believe so desperately......

With all respect, I must dissent.
I don't feel desperate, in the least; nor fervent either.

For the entire duration of Man, folks have been
unexpectedly getting killed from all different sources.
The notion that men killing men is new or unusual is a hoax.
The mortality rate among humen is 100%.

I remember a few times over the years that I almost got killed;
no big deal.

Actually it is, but I'm not surprised that you are unaware of the facts.

By all means, be my guest.

Perhaps my post was written carelessly; I was writing in a generic sense; however, I do believe there are others who might share my views. I can readily understand your having a different perspective.

I agree, and Mother Nature has been *One Source* of the biggest killer of all with its earthquakes floods, tornadoes, etc., since the beginning of life on earth. We lost over 4,500 + US military in the illegal Iraq war. Killings are continuing in Afghanistan. That's not to mention the daily fatal shootings in the US, etc. We're not going to mention the 45~70 millions deaths stemming from ww2, or Stalin's 25 million from famine, or Rhwanda. The list seems endless!.....Man's inhumanity to man.

I've never harbored the belief "that men killing men is new or unusual." Modern human, our bipedal primates to which we belong is literally "the animal Man." ....We're not that too far removed from cannibalism. This is why our society is continuing to create new laws to restrict our primitive natural behavior. I could never view any kind of killing, excessive or otherwise, as a "hoax."

Absolutely! If we are not killed by our own, given time, Mother Nature will be the final absolute power.

I don't have your inner stamina. 9/11, the worse tragedy to unfold in my life, was traumatizing for me. The Boston marathon bombings upset me because it brought back memories of the Twin Towers tragedy in my home town. I have an overwhelming respect and dread of death, all though I realize "nothing ever truly dies; we're just transformed" and also when we're no longer here (deceased) we will not be aware of it as we're only conscious of life!

US Government To Seek Death Penalty In Boston Marathon Bombing Case

The U.S. Government will seek the death penalty against Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev,
federal officials announced on Thursday.

“After consideration of the relevant facts, the applicable regulations and the submissions made by the defendant’s
counsel, I have determined that the United States will seek the death penalty in this matter. The nature of the conduct
at issue and the resultant harm compel this decision,” Attorney General Eric Holder said in a statement.

Prosecutors say they have filed a required notice of intent to seek the death penalty.

“Today, United States Attorney General Eric H. Holder, Jr. authorized the government to seek the death penalty in
the case of United States v. Dzhokhar A. Tsarnaev. We support this decision and the trial team is prepared to move
forward with the prosecution,” U.S. Attorney Carmen Ortiz said in a statement.

@Region Philbis,

The whole process will be long and drawn out ( about 6 years ). I suspect that the bomber will not die by lethal injection and will instead, either die from natural causes or be murdered by a fellow inmate.
