Cho-Seung Hui Tributes?: YouTubers Use VTech Massacre for Gun Control, anti-Iraq War Advocacy
By
Incredibly, there are already Cho-Seung Hui “Tribute” videos on YouTube.
One of them is an excuse to rail for gun control (yes, the gun control on the VTech campus work very well, didn’t it?).
But the worst one is the video which argues that it’s not such a big deal–that the number of those killed “by the U.S.” in Iraq is far larger. And this absurd anti-Asian one, the poster of which comments about Iraq also (and makes light of the whole VTech incident). “Me Love You Long Time.” Gee, I’m sure no Asian has heard that one before. (Thanks, 2 Live Crew.) Haha, funny.
Glad to see the “American” left views everything in “perspective.” (Don’t hold your breath for the Media Matters folks to get on the case of these items.)

There were many, many, many days during WWII that the US lost more men in a DAY than we have in Iraq in a YEAR (or even in three years).
Would anybody have argued that we should pull out of the Pacific theater because of casualties?
Not all deaths are equal. It is folly to equate the deaths at VT with the dead in Iraq. We must win in Iraq.
Far more people die in car accidents in a year in the US than die in the war in Iraq. Should we therefore outlaw automobiles? This sort of reasoning is not only childish, uninformed and illogical, it is dangerous.
