Quote from Coleen Rowley

And when a nation becomes so intent on teaching its youth that war is the answer and when its leaders and warriors are praised and sanctified for modeling mass violence, that cultural notion will trickle down as result of "leading by example" and become the epidemic of domestic terrorism and mass shooting we now experience in the U.S.  This  "blowback" will always follow, actually it's the most logical extension of the notion that war is the answer that emotionally unstable/vulnerable individuals can and will  increasingly take their cue in attempting to solve their personal problems through suicidal and homicidal violence.
