In Which Zandar Dons Flame Retardant Pants

So. The Fort Hood shooting.

Over the weekend, Joe F'ckin Lieberman said he believes the shooting was an act of Islamist extremism. He is wrong about that most likely. I don't think Islam had much of anything to do with it.

But he is right in as far as this was an act of terrorism.

This guy shot up a bunch of soldiers. Many are still in the ICU. This was an act that sent a message. He snapped. He disagreed with our war policy and he chose to protest it by trying to killing people and succeeding in at least one attempt. That's terrorism, folks. I have no personal sympathy for the shooter. I may say that the indictment of Islam as a whole due to Major Hasan is unfair. It is.

But this guy went rogue and shot up his fellow soldiers. His own personal guilt needs to be determined by a court of law. He's not a good person for doing this. Should he be convicted of these crimes, he needs to burn for them.
