I'm coming late to this karma discussion, and I'm a bit confused.

Barbara seems to believe that karma happens to nation states and that the 
horrific deaths of (e.g.) those people killed in the trade centers or in the 
jet over Pennsylvania were earned by them via the policies of the nation of 
whom they happen to be citizens?  This seems to me a peculiar coupling of 
Buddhism and realpolitik.  It also seems to me patent nonsense.  What am I 
missing?
