What a tragedy has struck Belgium! But, I think I should qualify that. What a tragedy! This isn't about Belgium or any other country. A madman enters a creche, on an as yet unknown pretext, and attacks the babies and young children there with a knife, killing three of them and a worker at the creche who had been trying to subdue him. Unfortunately it's in the nature of the human race to produce madmen. But let's not condemn Belgium. Similar attacks have happened in other places, and the scary thing is that they will continue to happen.
I try to look at the positive side of this terrible event. A woman, who also happens to be Belgian, died trying to save the children. All her colleagues could have suffered the same fate, as they were all trying to protect the children under their care.
And the sad thing is that not even the murderer himself could be held to blame, that is, if it really turns out that he's mentally sick, and therefore not responsible for his actions. I'm afraid it's not really such a wonderful world.
