Al Queda spy in the national guard with past ties to militant groups in US....a copy cat Kip Kinkle (killed his parents and took the gun to school to shoot classmates) this guy was stopped before going to an elementary school near his house, but was not arrested. Why the hell not? There has to be a law about bringing a gun around a school....

After absorbing 9/11, I kept thinking about Columbine...the perpetrators, seem to me to be cut from the same cloth - middle class frustration and hatred towards the world. Michael Moore draws the same connection in Bowling for Columbine.

What I wish the Muslim world would understand is that it has NOTHING to do with Islam, this hatred, this urge to murder. Why can they not address the problem in Palestine, in Saudi Arabia, in Pakistan, or in Iran? At least we try to address it here and make no excuses for the perpetrators, the Tim McVeigh's and Dylan Klebolds. Clearly we are not all that successful - Columbine, Kip K, Oklahoma City happened. But we are yet to export this violence to other countries. And we recognize that the sane people of the world, Atheists, Christian, Muslims, Jews, whatever, should be fighting this together.

I guess part of the problem is, I have no idea THIS is, what drives the anger in these kids.
