Woe to US, woe to us

With all the evidence that Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan was acting as an Islamic terrorist, it is shocking to note that every other excuse is given for his abominable behavior. Any person with enough intelligence can plainly see that this was an act of terrorism. In a single act of terrorism, Hasan has created his own version of "9/11". We are so fed up with the excuses of "emotional problems"---what he did was evil and he was well aware of his actions; he felt perfectly justified in killing innocent people in the name of Islam.

There are a few moderate Muslims standing up against this, such as Dr. Tawfik Hamid, but very few are brave enough to make public statements. What happened to calling a spade a spade? Political correctness has replaced common sense, and has become the mode of the day, where no one is accountable for their actions, therefore murderers, terrorists and such ilk are allowed to escape their rightful punishment. It is time for this country to wake up before it's too late.
