Another Home-Grown Problem


Two events this week, remind us of one major problem facing the United States and whoever have to deal with the U.S. (Iraqis for example). From the horrific school shooting events, to the indespicable murders by US Army in Iraq and going through all sorts of unblievable homocides that we see in the news media on a weekly basis in this country, one starts to wonder whether we are lookings at differents facets of the same problem. In fact, it takes few minutes, the time to compare the situation with any other developed nation, to get convinced that we are talking about a US phenomena, whose root is therefore "home grown".
On a side note, it is very difficult to get to the root of any problem, in a society where looking for the roots of a certain polemic problem tend to be wrongly associated (thanks for the efforts of the media) with "justifying" the problem. This confusion happens to be stronger, when it comes to foreign policy issues, where one cannot even try to relate violence to some violent occupation, as this is seen as a clear evidence of siding with "evil".
