Gotta agree with you Rockstar - the pic of him on Facebook with the old SA flag and Rhodesian one is a give away together with his victims on his motives.
Another interesting thing that Obama said in his speech was is that he asked the question why does this type of incident happen so frequently in the States. Not, as he said, that it does not happen in other countries but it happens far too frequently in the States. A question to ponder.

I can think of many questions to ask in order to answer his question.

Are there more unstable people in the States per pop than other countries?
Are gun laws more relaxed in the States than other countries?
Are racial tensions higher in the States than other countries?
Do different race groups feel more threatened by other race groups in the States than other countries?
Is the States going under a faster social/political/economic change than other countries - bringing with it a sense of fear to some groups?

Many, many more questions can be asked and the answers sought in order to address Obama's prime question and hopefully the answer to his.
