I don't want to appear cold here, so soon after "the event", but please - can you refrain from certain things:
1. Don't use the word "War" to describe this. This is not a war, and unless someone in the White House has their head firmly up their arse - it won't develop into one. You're just helping to spread FUD (Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt) if you use that word.
2. Don't blame anyone unless you know what you're talking about. Again, by going ahead and saying "x did it", someone, be it a little kid, will see your words and take them as gospel. This will spread, and only serve to fuel the already rampant racism present in the world.
Please? Two simple requests that could help keep people's sanity :)
