Violence Begets Violence

My thoughts are with the people injured and killed in London today, as they are every day with the people injured and killed in Iraq and everywhere violence creates unnecessary suffering, though they don't get as much attention from our media, though we see those figures and can't help but half-digest them as mere numbers or statistics, far from our lives of routine.

Bush says the "contrast couldn't be clearer between the intentions and the hearts of those of us who care deeply about human rights and human liberty and those who kill, those who have such evil in their heart that they will take the lives of innocent folks." If you take the "of us" from his words to extinguish its sickening hypocrisy, I couldn't agree more.
