The arguments provoked in the US by the Columbine killings about gun control reflect this lack of balance, and the absence of insight into the social dynamic that produces such events. The Far Right claims that controlling guns will not control the crazy individuals who abuse them. No one has spoken of gun control over NATO, whose firepower has been increased every few days since the attack on Yugoslavia. Into scenes which the media describe as 'the Third World on the doorstep of Europe'. Such spectacles should be contained where they properly belong.
Imperial powers are always thus.
Their wealth and might conceal their faults from themselves.
