For the purposes of argument, let's accept the media's insistence that Major Hasan is a lone crazy.

drybones

So who's nuttier?

The guy who gives a lecture to other military doctors in which he says non-Muslims should be beheaded and have boiling oil poured down their throats?

Or the guys who say "Hey, let's have this fellow counsel our traumatized veterans and then promote him to major and put him on a Homeland Security panel?

Or the Army Chief of Staff who thinks the priority should be to celebrate diversity, even unto death?

Or the Secretary of Homeland Security who warns that the principal threat we face now is an outbreak of Islamophobia?

Or the president who says we cannot "fully know" why Major Hasan did what he did, so why trouble ourselves any further?

Or the columnist who, when a man hands out copies of the Koran before gunning down his victims while yelling "Allahu akbar," says you're racist if you bring up his religion?

Or his media colleagues who put Americans in the same position as East Germans twenty years ago of having to get hold of a foreign newspaper to find out what's going on?

General Casey has a point: An army that lets you check either the "home team" or "enemy" box according to taste is certainly diverse. But the logic in the remarks of Secretary Napolitano and others is that the real problem is that most Americans are knuckledragging bigots just waiting to go bananas. As Melanie Phillips wrote in her book Londonistan:

Minority-rights doctrine has produced a moral inversion, in which those doing wrong are excused if they belong to a 'victim' group, while those at the receiving end of their behaviour are blamed simply because they belong to the 'oppressive' majority.

To the injury of November 5, we add the insults of American officialdom and their poodle media. In a nutshell:

The real enemy — in the sense of the most important enemy — isn’t a bunch of flea-bitten jihadis sitting in a cave somewhere. It’s Western civilization’s craziness. We are setting our hair on fire and putting it out with a hammer.

I have a "sabra" friend who always tells the story of her father in pre-war Palestine under the Brits. He was an engineer, trained in Vienna when he fled to Palestine in the 30s. He was a manager in the electricity facility with many people under him, mostly Arabs. One young man befriended him, invited him home to his parents and genuinely seemed matey! Out of the blue one day, when her father asked him to do something at work, he refused, saying "I don"t take orders from a Jew"!When confronted and asked to do as he was told, he took out a knife and attacked her father, slashing his leg almost severing an artery. Luckily, her father was a bigger man, managed to take the knife from him and apparently killed him. No one prosecuted her father, but ever since then, everyone understood that no matter how someone from that group appears to your face, one cannot assume anything about them. If it were members of my family attacked like this by a fanatic within the army, I would sue everyone in the military for negligence in not protecting their personnel. Perhaps then they might be more careful how and whom they deploy their people and where.

Among all the psychobabble is there any condition that describes a society wide disorder where psychopaths terrorising a society are exonorated whole any member of the society under attack who identifies the threat is regarded as an enemy? This is pure madness by a society with a death wish, a society that has lost its self-worth, which can only apologise and abase itself for any and all ill of which it is accused by criminal fact inverters.
