The West is the schoolyard bully who steals another kid's lunch every day for a year, and then runs to the teacher the moment the other kid turns around and socks him one. In addition - WHO said that the Charlie Hebdo murder-spree was an attack on free speech? The criminals who perpetrated the attack didn't - WE did. The criminals who committed this crime said that it was an attack of vengeance - not that they were committed to ending free speech in the west. The irony in this is of course that our illustrious and ennobled governments are now discussing how to "keep us safe" from the boogeyman by further restricting free speech through surveillance. We are, as the author of this piece says, not the enlightened "above and beyond it all" society we wish to believe we are. We achieve our ends through violence, and have done for generations upon generations. Someone else is now using the same tactics in a far, far milder format, and we cry foul. For the twelve who died in the attack and their families - I am truly sorry, and I feel for your loss. For the rest of you - get on with your lives. By obsessing over this you play nicely into the hands of those who would use you as an instrument of their will, whoever they may be today. You don't wring your hands in angst every time there's a bus crash and demand that all buses be banned and that all bus drivers are evil, and believe you me, buses kill a lot more people than violent criminality.
