Frightening events and considerations

Today, news are full of stories about the terrorist plot. The danger, uncunningness, sophistication of terrorists. No more flying, parfum or even water ( see for ex in NYTimes: "liquid thread is hard to detect" or WaP "Plot to Bomb U.S.-Bound Jets Is Foiled"). Even though not much is known about it, governments and mainstream media were quick to point the finger: Iran, Syria, muslims....All muslims are terrorists, don't you know? (see Politicizing the terrorist plot in Salon.com; and for the name calling mediamatters.org which documented how Boortz, a journalist from a TV show, says exactly all muslism are terrorists)

Meanwhile, the war goes on. Israel asks the US for more powerful bombs. Children die. Children die - but you know what? It is ok to kill children. Just read

On the Virtues of Killing Children
