The Terrorism Awards
So I guess terrorism is funny now. To some people.
Personally, I don't think this will ever make me laugh.
Stuff like this worries me. It seems as though there are elements out there in the world who would like us to forget that Islamic terrorism exists altogether. It's as though they'd like us to return to the pre-9/11 mentality, where terrorists were just people you heard about on the news or saw in bad action movies. They don't want to call terrorists terrorists, and they sure as hell don't want us in the middle east fighting against the conditions that breed terrorism.
Nope. They'd rather we all just sit at home within our own borders and pretend like everything's hunky-dory. That terrorists are just guys with funny beards that we can laugh at. All while entire armies of zealots in the middle east plot new and creative ways to murder our civilians, disrupt our economies and bring down our governments.
It's all kind of reminiscent of that story about the Roman Emperor Nero who fiddled while Rome burned.
