AP is saying the bombs were made out of pressure cookers and ball bearings. Maybe mass death was not their goal.

Until they find the body parts of the "muslim" this bomb was strapped to, seeing as how it is more common place for that particular group to take their own lives in an attack, as opposed to planting the bombs and fleeing, it is complete baseless assumptions to assume it was a muslim at this point. Probably some kid with an undiagnosed mental illness who lives in grandma's or mom's basement and has spent far too many hours on the internet and playing video games. A well organized terrorist cell would probably have succeeded at a much higher death toll.

Do you know how many innocent Muslims are killed by the us in Iraq, Afghanistan and Palestine? Just yesterday CNN posted 30 people killed by a usa bomb at an afghani wedding! Did you hear about that? Is that terrorism?

I am by no way condoning the innocent Bostonians who tragically died but give your head a shake and open your mind up. But hey they are Muslims, therefore terrorists so it's ok!

It didn't happen in NA therefore wasn't close to home therefore no one gives a (frank). Like come on, do you think if one of the sheep posted that to their facebook status yesterday instead of pretending to be concerned over the Boston bombing that they would have gotten the same kind of attention they were looking for???

life may be great for you... there are a lot of people suffering in the world, i'm glad it's only (frank)ed up when it's something that happens on your soil... maybe if you actually heard about the daily bombings we're doing in the middle east, and the thousands of innocents dying over there it might (frank) up your day as much as the couple dying over here... just saying

Sick either way

Reading these posts, I think the big picture is missed. This is not about race and religion. We are pin holing a billion people here. There are screwed up things happening without terrorists. People shooting up schools. That white person was a sick guy everyone thinks. They don't ask if he was catholic or jewish. They don't ask what a radical group from Jordan thinks.

Yet yesterday they did. Suspected terrorists. Then a guy that is hunted by Jordan and the US says good job an it hits all the media.

The thing here is that there are sick people everywhere. Yes we are at war. We are kidding ourselves to think as part of NATO that we can starve North Korea, Wage war in the streets of Afghanistan, ravage Iraq, and position one of the largest forces assembled across essentially a large lake from Iraq and not have people upset. And these are only the big ones. Not the fights in Syria, Somalia, Gaza... that we are a part of. We know there will be backlash from this but we try to fight hate before it comes to our soil.

The problem is, it might be a war we can't win. The number of people that believe 911 was not the result of terrorists increase every year (I forget where I read that survey but a google search will find it). Most people are listed as unsure rather than certain.

What happened yesterday was done by some terrible people. It was atrocious and it was cowardly. Was it terrorists? Probably, as by definition what happened was a terrorist activity. However there is that small chance it could have been one of those people, like the one that just shot up the school, that did it. Not some mastermind group but one horrible guy.

I expect they will find someone, whether it is the right person or someone they know was going to do something stupid soon and put them away for it. I just hope that really terrible things happen to the real people involved in the attack that injured so many. That took the life of one innocent person and of another, obviously innocent 8 year old boy.

My heart goes out to all those affected, directly or indirectly.

Good blog Clout.

If you get the chance watch the documentary "The World Without US", I used to think America brought it on themselves but this is a real eye opener.

Every hear of Oklahoma city.... don't jump to conclusions. There are all kinds of nutballs out there. Different race color and sex. Watch the news everyday and it is packed with murder, stabbing, rape, white collar crime.

sadly but true

I haven't had the time yet to read all these comments, but, hopefully, Richard, somebody explained how the fundamentalist Muslim community works? Read The Looming Tower by Lawrence Wright for a start. It's a big complicated world out there when you leave the rink.

Basically there are a lot of people that believe the US brings everything on themselves, this documentary tries to show what would happen if North America left the rest of the world on its own and the aftermath. It has made me look at things a little differently since I watched it.

There is a book with the same name, capitalize the US in us. My bad.

I think I and everybody who read this post of yours is dumber for having read it...

I just don't think that Muslim terrorists (if in fact one or more is found to be the culprit), reign terror simply because they are Muslim and their faith/ideals differ from American or 1st world culture. That just seems a bit too shallow for me.
