Retaliatory Anger

I am appalled at how immediately, murderously angry this attack has made people who I've always known to be generally very nice people. It's a further tragedy that this sort of thing brings out a retaliatory bloodlust even in the most decent of people. I'm terrified at what this means for the scores of idiots in our midst.

There is no proof yet of the purpetrator. I've heard contradictory reports already of the speculation that Osama bin Laden is responsible for this. "He said X, so he's the one who did it" versus "he couldn't possibly have because X, Y and Z".

War is the wrong answer.
