Another Shooting - Why Did He Do It ???

Today many of us are wondering what motivated the man who shot and killed four Marines and a Navy petty officer in Tennessee:

Coincidentally, the US Air Force is wondering how they can find and motivate more drone pilots who will kill (mostly) innocent women and children in far off lands:

Why do they do it (i.e., the bomber, the gunman, and the drone pilot)?


Here are some potential answers:


A1 - To protect our freedoms.


A2 - To protect our families, tribes, nations, etc. from aggression.


A3 - Because G-d (or Allah) wants us to do such things.


A4 - For the money.


A5 - Perhaps for no reason at all.


If you think long and hard about this, you may come to the conclusion that one or more of these potential answers applies to the killers on both sides of this so-called war on terror.


But if you continue to think about it, you'll eventually come to the conclusion that none of these potential answers, or any other answer you can come up with, justifies the killing of ANYONE.


Obama ad-Dajjal, please stop the killing.


John Brenner, please stop the killing.


Hillary Rodham, please stop the killing.


Jeb Bush, please stop the killing.


Mullah Omar, please stop the killing.


Ayman al-Zawahiri, please stop the killing.


Everyone, everywhere, please stop the killing !!!
