From Boston to Baghdad; terror here and there

CNN has been pretty much 24/7 all over the Boston Marathon bombs for the past couple of days.

Three dead. That is a vile defilement of America's innocence.

They've barely had time to cover today's Baghdad bombing.

Twenty-seven dead and counting.

Not to mention yesterday's Baghdad bombings. Or those of the day before. Or the day before that.

Crazy thing is, Baghdad didn't have random terror bombings before we liberated those people from themselves.

Which is not to suggest that Boston is in any way justifiable or excusable. It most definitely is not.

But neither is Baghdad. 

The Boston bombing; who would want to harm America?

You can see where the folks at Fox are going to have a field day with this one.

"The enemy within."

And a thousand variations of that trope.

Who would want to harm America?

Who has America harmed in the last generation or two? Mind you, the folks "over there,"  the "other," the "Towelheads," our victims... all those folks have been known to hang on to a grudge for much longer than a generation or two.

So whether this is another case of America's chickens coming home to roost, or just generic blow-back for a poisonous American foreign policy that has terrorized much of the world for the last fifty-plus years, only liars and stupid people can claim they didn't see it coming.

What will America's reaction be?
