To the assholes who blasted a big hole in the Shiite temple this morning: You are MORONS. You do not realize what you have just done. You have guaranteed that your children and your children's children will be hunted down for generations to come and that Islam will be split forever. And for what? So that your shrivelled testicles can somehow feel "empowered" fighting your cause? Leave fucking monuments (especially ones that belong to your OWN religion) out of it. It was no less wrong when Buddha heads were cut off during the cultural revolution or when the Parthenon statues were destroyed by idiots who marched to "Onward Christian Soldiers." Score one for the home team. How fucking stupid can you be when you blow up your OWN religion's monuments??

That island is looking better and better every minute. Reading the Times leaves me foaming at the mouth more often than not, nowadays. I need to resolve to head blindly to the crossword instead of reading the As. Just the Arts section, please.
