Russians kill ‘People’
“At least 18 people killed in Russian airstrike on town in Syria – reports” reads a headline in this morning’s Guardian. According to the corporate media when Russian bombs kill, they kill people. On the other hand, US and NATO bombs kill terrorists and extremists. That some collateral damage is caused in the process is only natural and hardly worth the column inches. After all’s said and done ‘you can’t make an omelette …’
The fact one person’s collateral damage is another person’s grandmother is highly regrettable and easily deniable. As one loving grandmother once remarked, “the price is worth it”.

Yes. Interestingly this very topic has finally surfaced in sort of mainstream US media. With the most recent attack on an abortion clinic by a madman with a gun, it has been pointed out that if he were “foreign looking” the headlines would label him as a terrorist. But because he’s obviously a deranged white guy, he’s mentally ill. As if Muslims and other brown people can’t also be mentally ill? What is it that separates the mentally ill from the terrorist among us?

It’s a very complicated and extremely worrying situation that needs handling with kid gloves, not mail gauntlets. I feel we are getting rather too much of the latter in what seems to be a testosterone-fuelled spat between some world leaders, who ought to know better than to turn this into a playground brawl, only with nuclear missiles.
