Pointing fingers has become an American tradition. |

I have grown increasingly frustrated at how every problem or negative issue that occurs in our country is used as an opportunity to point fingers. Ft. Hood is one of the latest examples. We blame the fact that the FBI should have done more. We blame the religion of the criminal. We blame our government, gun shops, the psychiatric profession… you name it we will blame it! At what point do we take responsibility for such actions. Maybe we need to reflect on whether a decade long state of war for our military may have some negative outcomes. Maybe we need to take responsibility for the level of prejudice and intolerance in our country. When do we look in the mirror as a country and stop the blaming! There are those in our leadership who use these moments as opportunities to create greater fear or animosity toward the other side (politically). Enough is enough!!!
