I know I have PTSD from watching my children being birthed. They want to treat the mental health of people exposed to the attack (i.e. reality). It kinda seems like first world problems worrying about how seeing things makes people feel, but it's a big third world problem too in which a lot of people are likely suffering PTSD from their political struggles and left untreated its making things worse still in those societies.
Nope! As usual you are wrong. It's understandable because that is what is in your preconceived mind full of hate. Boston Bombing Suspects Motivated By Afghanistan, Iraq Wars: Report The two suspects in the Boston bombing that killed three and injured more than 260 were motivated by the U.S. wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, officials told the Washington Post. Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, "the 19-year-old suspect in the Boston Marathon bombings, has told interrogators that the American wars in Iraq and Afghanistan motivated him and his brother to carry out the attack," the Post writes, citing "U.S. officials familiar with the interviews." thanks Bush!
The link you provided did not include the quote you put below. In fact, your link said the following: So it was religion.
The AP can help. OFFICIALS: BOSTON BOMB SUSPECT READ JIHADIST SITES On a side note... pressure cooker bombs are now being described as WMDs based on the charges filed against the younger brother. Does this mean we can now invade pretty much anywhere on the pretext of pressure cooker construction? Also, I would't go so far as to treat the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan as mutually exclusive from Islamic extremism, but you know that. One can and likely does have an impact on the other.
If there is any significance to it, then wouldn't the entire country known as Iraq be suffering at least from symptoms of PTSD? How about Afghanistan? So what does this mean? Does it excuse anything? Was it ever a consideration what dropping bombs would do to victims of drone attacks? Do you think PTSD knows the difference between just/unjust, right/wrong, good guy/bad guy? Is your second paragraph not a massive understatement of the scale of PTSD in the "third world"? Does it not ignore the much more prominent role of some Americans in generating it both domestically and internationally? Why is it that we can attribute these people's behaviors to mental disorders, but for the unpeople we instead attribute it to their ideology? What about the PTSD of a 19 year old who spent the first 8 years of his life in a war-torn country.. does that excuse his terrorism? A giant farce. American media is playing Americans like a board game, and you guys just keep on taking it. PTSD?!?! For F's sake, that's a bigger cause than outcome in this case, and in both instances it's not an excuse for anything. Violence breeds violence. One of the ways this transition happens is.. PTSD. You've seen it in your soldiers/veterans, you've seen it in your victims, you've seen it everywhere. But the media only reports it when it's a good excuse to engage in more violence. Hitleresque, to say the least.
This probably doesn't deserve it's own thread but the Cambridge mosque that Tamerlan Tsarnaev attended is refusing to bury him or have a funeral service for him. http://usnews.nbcnews.com/_news/201...-bury-tamerlan-tsarnaev?lite&ocid=msnhp&pos=3 Boston bomb suspect's aunt: Mosque won't bury Tamerlan Tsarnaev MAKHACHKALA, Dagestan -- A Boston mosque has refused to hold a funeral service for Tamerlan Tsarnaev, the dead suspect in the Boston Marathon bombing, his aunt said Wednesday. Patimat Suleimanova said U.S. authorities had told the family they could have the 26-year-old's body. Tsarnaev was killed during a shootout with police on Friday. His 19-year-old brother, Dzohkhar, is still hospitalized and has been charged with helping carry out the attack. His condition improved from serious to fair on Tuesday. Suleimanova said one of the suspects' uncles approached the imam of a Boston mosque attended by the brothers to request a burial and funeral service but was declined. She did not know the name of the mosque but said it was one the family attended. Members of The Islamic Society of Boston mosque in Cambridge, Mass., which the brothers attended, have been questioned by FBI agents, Yusufi Vali, a spokesman for the mosque said Tuesday. Asked on Tuesday whether his mosque would conduct the burial, he told reporters: "That's a decision that we'd leave up to a scholar. This one is complex because the things that this guy did were just absolutely disgraceful." Earlier this week, Imam Talal Eid of the Islamic Institute of Boston, told The Huffington Post: "I would not be willing to do a funeral for him. This is a person who deliberately killed people. There is no room for him as a Muslim." The brothers' parents were interviewed Tuesday by FBI agents and their counterparts at the FSB - the former KGB - in the Dagestani capital, Makhachkala, according to Heda Saratova, a human rights activist, and Zaurbek Sadakhanov, a lawyer, both of whom are assisting the parents. The authorities asked for the parents' full cooperation. They also told the mother she would be able to see Djokhar. Tuesday's interview lasted several hours and was "friendly," they said, and was due to resume on Wednesday.
No one (except you, apparently), has talked about PTSD as a cause or justification or excuse or anything else. The article was talking about the reality that it will affect people in the area and the fact that we should probably try to help those people. Nothing more, nothing less.
This is going to be hard for everyone to believe, but Mathloom just went on a rant that didn't make any sense so that he could attack America.

You think the DC Sniper was a jihadist? He says just terrorist later, but I think he is referring to Islamic terrorism like in the previous sentence. He said jihadist
