Reply #31: Oh, stop it! Stop with the "shame on U.S." nonsense. [View All]

There have been terror attacks by extremist Muslim groups (and others) for the past 40 years. While these events are terrible, only after 9-11 did we completely lose all perspective and act as if one event should define the world.

This event in India is a tragedy, but keep it in perspective. It's on the order of someone shooting down a commercial airplane.

The worst thing we could do, as Americans, is act as if every time a handful of goobers with AK 47s kill a bunch of innocent people, we have to change anything we're doing. Ignoring them, ignoring their cause, and treating them like the isolated nutjobs they are is the best path.

It's a tragedy, but life goes on, and we'll all get over it except those directly affected by the cowardly deeds of these cowardly men.
