The echo chamber phenomenon is an outcome of Gideon’s First Law of Sociology, which states “No one thinks of themselves as the bad guy.” Hitler, Stalin, Mao, and Pol Pot, mass murders all, likely saw themselves as just doing what needed to be done. As for me and my house, beheading babies pretty clearly defines who the bad guys were this past weekend. My best guess is that Hamas was doing its best to be an example of outrageous behavior simply to poke Israel into behavior that the “best and brightest of the international community”, as they style themselves, will scream about in their favorite echo chamber.

Follow the youtube video. If they wanted to start the worst war possible and do their very best to drag every element of the international community into it, they would kill young beautiful girls, behead babies, and take international hostages. Which is what they did. So depending on their goals, this was a perfectly executed operation achieving it's exact objective. Something to think about.

I wonder how that covers people like me though. I mean ya, I’m sad that happened. However, I could really care less in the grand scheme of things about either of those two countries. I really only care about our country. I don’t want to see us in another war. I’m also sad for the Americans that may or may not have been killed or taken hostage over there. However I think everyone know the risk of being in those countries and what could happen. It’s a gamble they took and sometimes there is consequences. Should possibly thousands more of our American youth be killed in a war because 20-30 some got killed or taken hostage? Is that worth it? I’m more about isolate the warring parties and let them fight it themselves. Tired of seeing our treasure (our youth and taxes) get wasted on other countries troubles. Let’s protect our own borders for a start.
