What is the ultimate weapon of mass destruction?
Perhaps we ought to include the Human Brain as the ultimate weapon of mass destruction.

Anyone can kill and injure just as many, if not more, with a garden variety AR15, AK47, MP5, etc. However, those are never called weapons of mass destruction. I think that is what Miriam was comparing.

Miriam,
How in the world can you say, that these bombs which killed amongst others
an eight year old where not weapons of mass destruction, including the fact
that they killed more than five and maimed more than 100! I don't get your
logic.
Man oh man we are right when we attack the U.S. Government including Obama
for insidious acts that end in death and destruction. So why in the living
Hell of it are others exonerated for similar acts of death and destruction?
I don't get this at all, in the least and please explain.
Oh, yes by the way I know what it is to be alienated and to be angry. But,
death upon innocents is not acceptable by any measure. And, I'm perhaps more
accepting of other religions than been on this list. But, nothing excuses
exploding bombs in the midst of a crowd for the sole reason of doing so.
Listen, these clowns are just that. Sad clowns. I'll not immediately vilify
them though ample evidence exists to do so by any measure. But, for crying
out loud as so-called "liberal" as I am I won't applaud these nihilistic,
narcissi son-of-a-bitches as I call 'em either.
Honestly I find your words inconsistent to say the least Miriam and I just
don't understand them sometimes.

Joe,
I don't think that anyone has condoned what these boys did. A lot of
people
are writing about some of the inappropriate responses to what they did
such
as not reading the suspect his rights before questioning him, making
assumptions about motives before any questioning or investigation was
done,
attacks on assorted Muslims in various places, etc. And my pet peeve is
that
the two bombs, as horrible as they were, were not "weapons of mass
destruction".

While I understand the implications here Bob, and while Christians and
other
religionist sure have their killers this stuff is not to be molified in my
mind.
Sorry pain in my teeth and elsewhere makes me grouchier than ever. But,
dammit two wrongs don't make a right. Don't get me wrong I am abhored
everyday as I see random violence kill innocents. I'm equally appalled
when
our drones kill innocents. But, these, kids are if appropriately given
rights and convicted of the crimes they are accused of, equally culpable.
They are no different in my mind than the pissed off, but rather sad kids
of
Colunbine. I understand angst. I've got plenty of it. But, that isn't one
wit of excuse for mass murder or mayhem of any sort if you catch my drift
here. It just isn't.
I'm very sad and, and somewhat understanding of their anguish. But, again
no
excuses for this sort of shit in my mind.
Look we are all angry at our government. We all have impulses. But, this,
and these random acts of abstract acts of violence again, against
innocents,
isn't, and never will be the answer to anguish.

Hi Miriam,
Once again, wise words here by Greenwald and I bet anything that the
right-wingers are shrilly crying foul over this one and claiming that
Greenwald is soft on terrorism.
Though I seriously doubt that the Tsarnaev brothers are innocent they
are just as deserving of a fair trial as anyone else assuming that we
live by the Bill of Rights. Oh! That's right, we tossed that sucker
out the window a long time ago and ensured its permanent demise with
the Patriot Act.
Seems to me that all of this violence, be it Boston, Aurora, Arizona,
or Fort Hood is equally abhorrent and unacceptable. But, seemingly
white Christian terrorism is not as bad as the great evil which is
Muslim terrorism. To me, it's all a smoke screen designed to keep the
sheeple fearful and blinded to the injustices perpetrated by our
all-knowing government.
One final point here. One man's terrorist is another man's hero.
Bob Hachey
