The Why comes after the How (II)

Iraqi Mixmax asks the same desperate question that makes me brood very often:

Do we really need a miracle? Or human brain can find a solution?

Here is my approach:

The guys parading in Ramadi were masked, weren't they? So how do they have a right to call themselves Al-Qaida? Who is Al-Qaida anyways? As long as they remain anonymous, the don't have an identity and no cause or sect or group they are fighting for.

What Iraq is encountering right now is the perversity of modern warfare, it has very few to do with Iraqi society. It started developing at the beginning of last century and was spread over Ireland, Sri Lanka, the Middle East, parts of former USSR. We've had it in Germany.

The methods were strengthened by mass media. Anonymous cowards could spread anonymous messages, the mass media learned to deliver excuses if the messages weren't understandable. They served the anonymous cowards by blaming whomever jumped to their mind.

Do you remember Beslan? When the one guy who remained was sentenced, our news commentators critised the judges for not having digged deeper into the reasons this guy had for killing innocent children. And pointed towards the wrong-doings of Putin. What a service. Is there a reasonable reason in this world to kill children?

Once in Israel, after a suicide attack, three anonymous groups claimed their copyright over the crime.

Long time ago, the father of one of my schoolmates was killed by the RAF. At that time I was very angry about the anonymous letter that was to explain, why this man was killed. It was filled with theories, bold letters and exclamation marks. Fifteen years later the anonymous cowards showed up: hidden by the regime of the GDR. Our rivaling neighbor who wasn't interested in our democracy to succeed.

Since then I have a dream: our media refuse to discuss any causes for crimes permitted by anonymous cowards. Headlines go: "Anonymous cowards killed XY", place, date, victims. Instead of speculating with unproofed theories, we offer proofed information about the decent lives and the innocence of the victims.

I seem naive? No. I know the press standards. Try sending an email with a press release of your local Member of Parliament. No one will print it, it will have to be authenticated. Try sending a message in the name of Osama Bin Laden instead. That's not so difficult. We can google the templates, change some words (Italy instead of Spain), sign in the name of Allah and all the oppressed and send it to Al-Jazeera.
