The Taboo
Killer Country
by John Kozy (centrist liberal libertarian)
Published: November 10, 2009
Oh, the wailing, weeping, and gnashing of teeth over last week's killings at Fort Hood!—a tragic instance of what Americans call an "isolated" event that happens almost daily. America is a killing field! It has been for a very long time. Historically, the oppressed have killed their oppressors. In America the oppressed kill each other. American politicians claim that America is the free-world's leader. But what other country would want to follow America down this road? (Perhaps the stupid British from whom we acquired the roots of this vulture—oops!, culture.) It is noteworthy that since 1789, approximately 70 nations have become democratic, but not a single one has copied the American model. Whom are we leading where? Perhaps only ourselves to perdition.
