The World This Morning 03/23/2012; Three killers in Kandahar , Afghanistan; Toulouse , France; Sanford, Florida ; by Jamil Shawwa

In the last couple of weeks three individuals in different parts of the world decided to go "shopping", to kill people, other humans, other innocent civilian humans. In Afghanistan, a US soldier, with mounting troubles at home, with allegedly corrupt financial dealings and running away from court orders, decided to kill the same people, we, the US,decided to send him there to protect from Taliban and Al Qaida; instead, the soldier by the name of Army Staff Sgt, Robert Bales, decided to emulate Al-Qaida and Taliban and be as they are; a killer, he killed 17 Afghanis, and a grand jury in the US charged him with 17 counts of murders, the number of  people he killed, of course the "title" killer is formally "bestowed" upon him once a court of law rules and convicts.

On Monday 03/19/2012, one day before the Zimmerman story about killing the black teenager, Trayvon Martin, broke, another deranged, unstable, based on reports, Algerian French by the name of Mohammad Merah, "dropped" by a religious children school and decided to pour all his mental troubles, and all his frustrations with his life, on them. Of course his mental capacity was not completely incapacitated because he had to add flavor  to his murders and he had to add the usual cause of his killings; the Palestinian cause. The Palestinians, the only humans on earth that have been bought and sold politically by their own. Reports today confirmed that this killer did not have any affiliation with Al Qaida. This Merah is done, he was killed when police raided his "bunker".

On Tuesday of this week, a story from Sanford, Florida became a breaking news when a neighborhood watch captain last month decided to show his residents that he is up to the job,and decided to practice and show his credentials  by cornering an unarmed, harmless,17 years old teenager that his only crime was that he was born Black. The perpetrator by the name of George Zimmerman, shot and killed the kid, even after the police told him not to pursue him, and wait for them, the police, to arrive to handle; after all, Zimmerman, the alleged killer, called the police to report. But in Florida there is a dilemma, the corrupt police and government of the State of Florida did not arrest Zimmerman, at least to investigate and let a court of law decides if a convection is warranted. Nothing was done; the African American kid was killed, the killer is out and the law is struggling on a law called " Stand your ground" which, to translate  into understandable  English, would mean ,maybe to give the police an excuse for not arresting the killer. Basically, if in the same circumstances, it gives the pursuer the excuse to pursue the alleged suspect. But, it is for the court of law to decide and accordingly, the police should have arrested and let a judge decides. The killing is snowballing within America and the African American community as it should be. President Obama few moments ago said in a conference with the new World Bank appointee-Jim Yong Kim- that  'If I had a son, he'd look like Trayvon'.*


Three killers, and the victims were, based on reports, Muslims ,Jewish, and Christians, also they were French, Americans and Afghanis.   Three killers shaked our world this week and deprived and uprooted innocent lives. The time is now for action in Kandahar, in Sanford and in Toulouse.
