"  As I write this, no one has yet claimed responsibility for the bombing of the Boston Marathon. No one has yet triumphantly declared that, in the name of something larger than themselves, they have murdered a child and blown off the limbs of innocent bystanders to a sporting event. Obama has promised retribution to whomever is responsible. For the past day, reasonable human beings have been cheering for a group \u2014 not their own \u2014 to be responsible. &amp;quot;Please let it not be Muslims&amp;quot; is a refrain. Erik Rush, a Fox News commentator, &amp;quot;sarcastically&amp;quot; called for the murder of all Muslims, hoping that they were to blame. Cheerleading for murder: a new low even for cable news. The slightly more aware portion of the commentariat waits breathlessly to impose judgment on whatever sick group decided to commit such barbarity. Everybody wants to know whom to blame.  But this moment, before we know who did it, may be more important than when we do know. The speculation has established three possible perpetrators: Islamic terrorists, domestic terrorists, or simple lunatics. The potential of this moment is that we can recognize that it could be any of them, that they all want the same thing, that they are, in the only way that matters, the same thing. What we are dealing with is the force of madness against sanity. We are dealing with people who see the world&amp;#039;s flags fluttering at the finish line of a great accomplishment and want to blow it all up. Does it matter what kind of hats they wear? The cultural roots of the perpetrators are irrelevant. The history will be applied post-hoc and poorly. Whoever it turns out to be will incur a blame for entire groups of people \u2014 whether Muslims or American gun nuts \u2014 which are entirely accidental to their being. Let us pause, right now, and agree not to make that mistake.  Obama is right, of course. Whoever is responsible will have to be hunted down and destroyed. But it is essential that we recognize exactly who they are before we begin the hunting. Scum is scum, even when you don&amp;#039;t know what name to give it.
