lurkittyMore bombs. This time in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt. To understand the full impact of this act of terrorism, one must know that this resort city is known as "City of Peace", both because of the tranquility of the place and because of the number of peace treaties negotiated here in conferences.
To many in the Middle East, an attack on this city is an attack on peace itself, and the accusations are flying a fast and furious this morning. While US sources continue to bang the Al Qaeda drum, other fingers are pointing toward Israel, the UK and the US. The danger lies in who believes what. There are extremists on all sides with more bombs ready for revenge. Even if they figure out who did it, no amount of convincing will change everyones mind -- there will still be conspiracy theorists out there egging people on to think the other way.
With more bombs. Killing more people. So that someone else can avenge their death...
