We were all shocked, but unfortunately not surprised, by the
carnage in France and California. In a
very weird way, I may be safer here than back home. At least I have weapons, an armored car and
folks who keep an eye out for crazies with their car bombs. I may even know about when the car bomb guy
will be on the road. Back home, the
crazies (whether terrorists or the “non-terrorist”) could be anywhere
and strike seemingly at random. While the
coalition foreigners here understand terrorism, they don’t understand the rash
of mass shootings in the US. How can you
put up with this almost every month the Afghans ask?
I really don’t have an answer.
The left don’t want those with psychological problems to be stigmatized
while the right don’t want the tools of their carnage to be controlled. I just shrug and tell the Afghans to think
twice about leaving.
