Iraq

[Mark Kohut]

Here is one of my obs that come from trying to understand TRP's insights into murder
  and war........war in GR.....and its reasons and 'that the screaming had been heard before"...
   
  in an intro to a bio of Leonard---of the Leonard and Loeb murder of 1924----The writer, Erle
  Stanley Gardner wrote that child murderers were almost unknown in America in 1924....(The VT killer was not a child but he was still a "suckling", yes?)
   
  And in ATD, the mass murders of the 20th Century are brilliantly linked to the first mass murderer in modern times, jack the ripper.
   
  It all connects.

Sure.  But the everyday killers in Iraq are vying for political 
dominance and fighting a factional war that's been ongoing for
centuries.  We, the US, did cause the collapse of the previously
stable, but brutal regime, which itself was the byproduct of European
colonialism a type of brutality itself. 

But besides the loss of life, there is no parallel with the massacre
at Virginia Tech.
