And there are other powder kegs out there. Who knows what will light their fuse?

Sean Hannity blamed Obama for ignoring the threat when in fact it was GW Bush. Hasan tried repeatedly to get out of the service and was denied repeatedly. Oh how I wish someone had put the expressed concern with Hasan together with his request to quit and just said 'OK, buh bye'.

The failure to call a threat a threat is what lies behind the ingoring of warning signs about Hasan. The political correct police (ACLU, others) would have represented Hasan had they questioned him conserning his loose affiliation with Al Quaida links.

It is this CYA attitude and politically correct nonsense that allowed Hasan to do what he did. CUT IT OUT. This Muslim Extremist scumbag is a terrorist.

Do you think that future soldiers will shun Fort Hood? Be afraid to go near the processing center? That's the goal of “terrorism”, to disrupt the status quo and make sure it stays disrupted through the use of making people afraid to go somewhere or do something. That's what the Taliban are doing in Afghanistan.

Otherwise, this fellow is just engaged in a deadly religious war, or if you eliminate the religious angle, anarchism.

With a qualification that he apparently chose his religious belief to match his discontent, I have to agree.

I'm a liberal and an Afghanistan “dove”, (if you count leaving the Afgans to their own hell as a dove).

Of course Hasan is a terrorist. He killed and wounded all these people, whom he had sworn an oath with, as well he swore the Hippocratic oath as a doctor to “do no harm”, because he didn’t get what he wanted. What he wanted was based upon his religious belief, which he well knows is incompatible with western democratic culture. His intent is completely clear IMO.
