Well written and thoughtful OpEd piece in the NY Times.
…It’s true that Major Hasan was unbalanced and alienated — and, by my lights, crazy. But what kind of people did conservatives think were susceptible to the terrorism meme? Like all viruses, terrorism infects people with low resistance. And surely Major Hasan isn’t the only American Muslim who, for reasons of personal history, has become unbalanced and thus vulnerable. Any religious or ethnic group includes people like that, and the post-9/11 environment hasn’t made it easier for American Muslims to keep their balance. That’s why the hawkish war-on-terrorism strategy — a global anti-jihad that creates nonstop imagery of Americans killing Muslims — is so dubious…

More apologia for the Reaver Factory.
Hasan was a good soldier until 911, and then he began trying to get out of the military.
They. would. not. let. him. leave.
He wasn’t vulnerable to the terrorism virus…he wasn’t unstable and erratic……the system tortured him into insanity.
This will never end until we accept responsibilty for the hundreds of thousands of dead muslim civilians in Iraq.
That will never happen……being WEC means never having to say you are sorry.

…there can be no peace in MENA, until the WECs accept responsibility for the unjust partition of arab lands to expiate Big White Christian Bwana’s holocaustguilt, and responsibilty for hundreds of thousands of musim dead in GW’s Gog/Magog war on al-Islam.
It won’t stop.
