There's conflicting reports about a suspect. CBS News just said no suspects are in custody, while the Post says otherwise. I wish they'd get their facts straight.
Im sorry but did I miss something ? americans ? how do you know it was americans that did this horrible thing ? get the facts before you assume something not in evidence thanks .
Yes, you missed something. No where at no time do I state that Americans have anything to do with today's events. I was asking the poster whom I quoted what he meant. He clarified. You are reading something that isn't there.
She wasn't assuming that it was an American, she was replying to something that I had posted.
Yes, and thanks for the explanation. You still screwed up with that apostrophe, though. NO apostrophe needed for a plural! This is driving me NUTS that people seem infected with some kind of bizarre apostrophe disease over the past couple of years...but not important today.
I'll get you another time! ; )

I remember, when 9/11 went down, my reaction was, "Well, I've had it with humanity."
But I was wrong. I don't know what's going to be revealed to be behind all of this mayhem. One human insect or a poisonous mass of broken sociopaths.
But here's what I DO know. If it's one person or a HUNDRED people, that number is not even a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of a percent of the population on this planet. You watch the videos of the carnage and there are people running TOWARDS the destruction to help out. (Thanks FAKE Gallery founder and owner Paul Kozlowski for pointing this out to me). This is a giant planet and we're lucky to live on it but there are prices and penalties incurred for the daily miracle of existence. One of them is, every once in awhile, the wiring of a tiny sliver of the species gets snarled and they're pointed towards darkness.
But the vast majority stands against that darkness and, like white blood cells attacking a virus, they dilute and weaken and eventually wash away the evil doers and, more importantly, the damage they wreak. This is beyond religion or creed or nation. We would not be here if humanity were inherently evil. We'd have eaten ourselves alive long ago.
So when you spot violence, or bigotry, or intolerance or fear or just garden-variety misogyny, hatred or ignorance, just look it in the eye and think, "The good outnumber you, and we always will."
I remember when President Clinton said in a news conference after the OK City bombing something about a Moslem or Arab terrorist. We need to wait for more info. It might have been a Muslim extremist or it might have been some other terrorist.
Also, remember the brouhaha about white supremacists' suspected killing of the DAs in TX? The chief suspect turns out to be totally different. (Only a suspect, though. We don't know if there is evidence to put him on trial. Although he is being held.)
Since one of the bombs did not go off, I expect there will be some evidence that points in one direction or another.
