Strange World

Remember regime change? No, not Saddam, remember Milosevic? Largely US forces broke up his party:

More than 200,000 people are believed to have lost their lives, mainly Bosnian Muslims, and another two million refugees created.

Witness accounts reported mass murder, rape and genocide, while pictures showed starved Bosnian Muslims behind the barbed wire of concentration camps.

So how does a family saved from Milosevic raise this son:

In just six minutes, 18-year-old Sulejman Talovic left a tragic path of destruction that forever changed the lives of dozens of people.
"His intent was to shoot as many people as he possibly could," said Salt Lake City Police Chief Chris Burbank.
Police released details Tuesday on Talovic's shooting rampage that left five people dead before off-duty Ogden police officer Ken Hammond and four Salt Lake City police officers killed him in "a shootout," Burbank said....

......Ajka Omerovic, who said she was Talovic's aunt, visited the home Tuesday afternoon. She told the Deseret Morning News that Talovic had been "a good boy." She said the family are Muslims from Bosnia who had lived in the vicinity of Sarajevo.

I wonder if Muslims teaching their children hate could have anything to do with it. I also wonder if such people are worthy of rescue. No doubt this "good boy" was upset that innocent Muslims were being killed by bombs in Iraq. And I wonder too; why do we keep detonating those car bombs? Wait. Do we? Isn't it other crazy Muslims who are killing innocent Muslims in Iraq? Isn't it the coalition forces who are trying to stop the suicide bombers, the mosque attackers, and the kidnappers?

Of course it is. Of course what we want is to stabilize Iraq and get out. Talovic couldn't see this though. The mother, father, and the culture of young Talovic all taught him hate. His culture is still trying to get even for the Crusades.
