Rahm Emanuel’s Zombie Pigs vs. Chicago’s Angry Birds | The Nation
thenation.com — My kids are into Angry Birds, a game they love for the same reason I once obsessively played Super Mario Brothers: its appeal is incomprehensible to the adults around them.

All I'm saying is don't ascribe DESIRE.
ICYMI: Colorado Strikes Big Blow Against the Death Penalty salon.com/2013/05/22/hic…
Hickenlooper strikes major blow to death penalty
salon.com — Colorado Gov.

Pretty simple: Violent actions cause violent reactions which cause more violent actions, etc. - and they are all unacceptable atrocities.
Mentioning CIA/military concept of blowback isnt "blaming America." That should be obvious unless you think CIA/military is "anti America."
