Just less than 16 days ago, more than 6,000 people were murdered simply because they were American. The reasons why this mass murder happened, in which many non-Americans also died, are extremely complex.
Less than 60 years ago, in Europe, more than six million people were murdered simply because they were Jews. The reasons why this mass murder happened, in which many non-Jews also died, were extremely complex.
In more or less than six days' time, an unknown number of people are likely to be murdered simply because they are Afghanis. The reasons why this mass murder will probably happen, in which many non-Afghanis will also die, will be extremely complex.
