Is posting support for Paris on Facebook narcissistic, or heartfelt?

I find #PrayForParis particularly cynical because we are in the mess we are because of, mainly, two evangelical christians&#x27; little crusade in the middle east, Bush and Blair. Which not only were never put on trial for war crimes committed, were able to get away from any level of accountability. It took so many year for Papi Bush to come out and say his son was an idiot. Imagine how many lives would have been saved if he had the courage to speak up before.<p>Also, the right has succeeded in sanitizing and de-contextualizing the discussion about terrorism, whereby we don&#x27;t talk anymore about why the world is where it is today. If we don&#x27;t accepts the chain of events, but particularly it religious motivation (directly or indirectly), we&#x27;re not even on a path to identify the problem.<p>A public&#x2F;international trial of Bush and Blair should be a priority and probably a first step in reconciliation and accepting the humanity of everybody, not just Christians.
