When I first read about the groom who was shot whilst leaving a strip-joint (outstanding citizen indeed), I noticed that there was no mention about his race. I figured he had to be black. It's almost de rigeur for cops to react with maximum force when dealing with situations involving blacks. Why? Probably because it's often necessary. That's why. There's seldom smoke without fire. I don't have the exact figures but I've read that blacks in USA make up a small percentage (15?, 25%?) of the population but commit a majority of the crime.
The fight against terrorism is fueling right-wing and neocon forces. Political correctness is going out of fashion. It's going to be a bad time to be a member of any minority group, especially blacks or muslims (or God forbid, both).

Rise Of Fascism In Europe
Observation: Europeans are becoming aware of a fifth-column in their midst. A trojan horse. A people who practice a certain religion, who will not integrate. A group from which spring malignancies.
Prediction: Far-Right parties will gain popularity on a platform of banning the practice of that religion. They may even come to power. It would be a Pyrrhic victory for civilized Man. For in trying to defeat a deadly enemy, they become something just as bad. Both ways, we lose.

Civil War In Iraq
For many years, I have advocated the separation of Israel and Palestinian territories as the only solution to suicide bombings. It's simple logic - if the Palestinians can't get in, they can't blow you up. As for menial labourers, bring in Filipinos or Indians or whatever. Problem solved. Sure enough, Israel has started building a wall to keep Palestinians out.
I'm beginning to think that such a solution may also be required in Iraq. Much as America wants a stable and democratic country, it's not going to happen. Like oil and water.
I propose dividing Iraq into 3 regions or countries (balkanization, if you like) based on population size - viz shiites, sunnis and kurds. You can't force people to move, but only crazy ones would stay in the wrong place. The oil should be controlled by a neutral 3rd party and the revenue distributed according to population size. Problem solved.
Of course, creating a Kurdistan would mean a headache for Turkey. But it wouldn't be America's problem. LOL!
