The Boston Bombing: 4
Today is Monday, 22 April 2013.
Hosea 8:7: "They have sown the wind; they shall reap the whirlwind."
While blind-sided by the Chechen connection, i'm not surprised. The USA, as any great power, continually and routinely employs violence in pursuit of its goals. And, given the far greater firepower deployed, far more innocents are killed. Apologists prefer the term "collateral damage," which sounds so accidental and antiseptic, but, in fact, if one detonates a bomb, one inherently takes responsibility for ALL the harm it does, intended or unintended.
If what the Boston Bombers did was murder and terrorism, what great powers, including the USA, do is murder and terrorism on a far greater scale.
None of it is justifiable.
