How about keeping things in prospective. How about laying the fault at the feet of ignorance and superstition. The factions in that part of the world only care about 1500 year old blood feuds, and tribal power. A bunch of primitive thinkers with an axe to grind caused this. The people riding through the streets shooting peaceful folks are to blame for the violence there now. The security forces fleeing their posts in the face of the enemy allowed this wave of terror. The failure of the al-Maliki government to be blind to factions, and using the office for revenge, has caused this.
I'm going to have to remember that everything that happens now, and through to the end of the election will be tainted by the election. Each side is going to use any event as ammunition against one another. They will do that even if they have to stretch the truth to the breaking point.
Romney is a 20/20 hindsight visionary. He took every contrarian view to the President, even when it contradicted what he said he believed just a few years ago. Of course events are going to unfold that make him look like a precog. The truth is, ANYONE could see a Sunni uprising coming. U.S. soldiers could have kept it in check. But how many of our soldiers should die to prop up an oppressive disrepresentative government? For what? He's wrong, and he doesn't know it. All he can do is throw bombs. He's bitter and lacking in the class I once thought he had. You had your say Mitt, and we the people rejected it. It's time for Mitt to shut up and sit on the bench. You can't call the plays from the sideline.
