The Orlando Horror

• http://original.antiwar.com, by Justin Raimondo

As I write this (it's Sunday morning, 5:00 a.m. PST) the news is breaking that an Orlando gay nightclub has been attacked by a gun-wielding 29-year-old son of Afghan immigrants, Omar Mateen, who appeared to "'have leanings towards' radical Islamist ideology," according to the FBI." At least twenty people are dead, and forty-two are wounded. Mateen died in a gun battle with police.

One can easily imagine what will be – and already is – happening in the wake of this horrific tragedy: the War Party will be quick to jump on this as proof that we must go abroad in search of monsters to destroy, and carry on the endless "war on terrorism" to the very ends of the earth. Donald Trump's followers will be quick to pounce on this as evidence that their surrealist program of not allowing Muslims into the country must be implemented immediately: it doesn't occur to them that they are already here – and they aren't going anywhere.
