Cho Was a Terrorist! By Joan Swirsky

What’s the difference between Cho Seung-Hui and the many hundreds if not thousands of Palestinian and Islamic terrorists worldwide? It’s a three-word answer: choice of weapon.

Everything else is the same.

All of them planned their mass murders meticulously by preparing carefully loaded weapons (either cars or, in Cho’s case, guns) intended to produce maximum casualties.

All of them were duly deliberate, plotting their grisly massacres to result in a contagion of helplessness, fear and panic.

All of them had malice aforethought, anticipating that their acts would have the widest possible ripple effect, which they did – for the victims and their families, society-in-general, and their governments.

All of them left behind their own self-aggrandizing manifestos, photographs, videos, and tape-recorded statements, the better to provide an acid-in-the-wounds punctuation mark to their bloodthirsty deeds.

And all of them had identical rationalizations, blaming their acts on the “Big Satan” America or her ally, the “Little Satan” Israel.

What Is Not Similar?
The only difference between Cho’s terrorist act and those committed by fanatics in other countries is the way the media react to terrorism.
When Palestinians or Islamic fanatics massacre innocent people in pizza parlors, at weddings, and in the marketplace – in Israel, Spain, England, Russia, the list goes on and on – their hagiographies appear in the Arab media, their mothers applaud them as “heroes,” and terrorist countries like Syria and Iran renew both arms and money to like-minded murderers.

But in America, the predictable liberal media stick relentlessly to their tired themes, which they lard with code words, dissimulation and a numbingly repetitive politically correct agenda.
