Blaming the Wrong Guy

Ken Bigley was evidently killed, by beheading, in Iraq.  Though the majority of Mr. Bigley’s family seem to believe that the British government did all they could to procure Ken Bigley’s release, Ken’s brother states Tony Blair has "blood on his hands”.

Though I can sympathize with the possibility of this being a remark made in haste and shock at Ken’s death, the brother is blaming the wrong guy.  It’s the damn Islamofascists that should be blamed, not Tony Blair.

“Bigley: Blood on Blair’s hands."

  1. I must admit that I find the thinking exhibited by this man’s brother as well as the thinking of Nick Berg’s father when Nick was executed, incomprehensible. What is going on here? Kidnappers commit unmitigated evil by grabbing an innocent man off the street. Is it that, in the mind of the relative of the victim, since kidnappers are subhuman they cannot be held responsible? Then is anyone who disobeys the criminal’s demands guilty, not the ones who commit the crime? Nah! That is not the explanation. If a mad dog bit your brother you would help hunt the animal down. Where is the righteous indignation and normal vigor of these people? Have progressives un-manned themselves?

    Or it is a matter of putting politics ahead of the life of one’s brother or son? Was the brother of this man or the father of Nick Berg a committed anti-American sympathizer of Islamic terrorism before the atrocities committed against their own flesh and blood?  Is changing sides from an anti-American position to an anti-Islamist position merely because the Islamists behead one’s flesh and blood too much of an attitude adjustment for some of these America haters? Better to blame those who provoke the killers by not obeying their dictates rather than the people who actually cut off the poor men’s heads.

    Either way the attitude of these relatives of the victims of atrocity is disgusting.
    Nor is this an exceptional example of the attitudes of progressives. This type of reversal of responsibility is typical of their mental processes. Think of their denial or excuse for massive leftist genocides or crimes by “oppressed people” combined with endless exaggeration and repetition of any perceived injustice committed by ordinary Americans.

    Something that has stuck in my mind was an article written by the son of a psychoanalyst who remembered the frustrating attitude of his father when he told him about confronting the bullies and other jerks in his school. He was told that he must not feel anger at his tormentors, because they were mentally ill. Instead he must understand them. Just how far can we take this attitude, unilaterally, before it compromises our ability to survive?

    You are erroneously assuming that events have actual logical causes when it is well known (by superior-minded Atheist/Liberals) that events occur completely randomly and without any reason at all.

    Ken’s brother: Tony Blair has “blood on his hands”.

    Obviously Ken’s brother understands. I guess you just aren’t as “smart” as he is? (Enlightened Secular Europeans are just more intelligent that your average knuckle-dragging Judea-Christian American-moron.)

    Ohh well … it doesn’t really matter.

    Resistence is futile!
    You will be assimilated!
