I hereby announce my spineless apology for this massacre in the usual way - by condemning the atrocity as an act that is an affront to the teaching of Islam, and by also condemning boko haram as a group that doesn't represent Islam.
I agree, G, and I hereby announce my own apology for the various US and Israeli firebombings of women and children in the past few years, including the invasion of Panama, the attacks on Gaza and Lebanon, and on and on - all attacks targeting and killing civilians using firebombing.
I would never do this to distract from the crimes of a group like Boko Haram but to compare and contrast with the real villains. In Panama, the death toll was in the thousands, all civilians burned to death in the slums of Panama City. The US wouldn't even let the Red Cross in.
As bad as they are, Boko Haram doesn't even compare in its scope and cynicism. They do it because of warped ideas. The US does it for the dollars.
Put me down as a devout spineless apologist traitor.
Kill me.
