Middleeast woes come home to America

Bush set the middle east ablaze, saying, we will fight them there so we don't have to fight the"m here."

That never made any sense.

6 Shot, 1 fatally, at Wash. Jewish center - Yahoo! News:

"SEATTLE - Patti Simon was working in the Jewish Federation's office when she heard screaming, gunshots and what sounded like furniture crashing on the floor above her.

She tried calling her co-workers upstairs, but no one answered, so she called police and fled. 'People got shot, some of our co-workers,' she said, her voice shaking.

Authorities said a man walked into the Jewish agency on Friday and opened fire, killing one woman and injuring at least five others in what they call a hate crime. Naveed Afzal Haq, 30, was booked into the King County Jail for investigation of homicide and attempted homicide, police said.

The gunman, who employees said claimed to be a Muslim angry at Israel, forced his way through the center's security door after an employee had punched in her security code, said Marla Meislin-Dietrich, a co-worker who was not at the building at the time.

Staff members said they overheard him saying ''I am a Muslim American, angry at Israel,' before opening fire on everyone,' Meislin-Dietrich said. 'He was randomly shooting at everyone.'
