Fort Hood, Who's to Blame

What bothers me most about the massacre at Ft.Hood is the revelation that there were several indications that the shooter, Nidal Malik Hasan, was a problem waiting to happen. Apparently, he made numerous comments regarding his opposition to the war which alone isn’t a problem as I suspect many in the armed forces feel similarly. He also made comments to the effect that he felt suicide bombers were justifiable in their actions. He had colleagues that were aware of his radical views that were never acted upon by authorities. It is now coming out that he attended the same mosque as two of the 9/11 hijackers. Lastly, I just heard the government was aware for months that Hasan was trying to contact Al Qaeda.

There is plenty of blame to go around but I put the majority of the blame upon those that have crippled us with political correctness. The lawyers such as those on the ACLU have caused everybody to walk on egg shells when it comes to treatment of certain protected groups. We are all so scared of getting sued that we are unable to protect ourselves when a true threat arises. I am sure that nothing was done to Hasan because of his religion as the authorities were concerned about being called racists and possibly indicted for discrimination,

These lawyers have the blood of the thirteen murdered victims on their hands. We as a nation have allowed the lawyers to bring us to a point that we can no longer protect ourselves. I do not know how, but this must change for the nation to survive.. The notion that by just giving everybody a chance, treating them as equals, and availing all people of opportunities that they will reciprocate with gratitude is false. There is a segment of the population that is overtly anti- American and this group must be identified and dealt with regardless of their color, race, sex or religion.

I hope this tragic episode causes a redirection of our legal system, our mainstream media and our liberal politicians. But I am sure that instead of blaming radical Islam, somehow Hasan will be viewed as a victim. This country is in truly bad shape and there doesn't appear to be anything to be hopeful for in the near future.
