Well, the same can be said about many Americans' responses to the S11 bombings: surprise, grief, shock, outrage, etc. Perhaps you may say it is "naive" to be surprised that "what happens to them would happen to you," but still it doesn't seem to me that you can equate being naive with being wrong. Besides, leftists can gain no political mileage by saying that "you should have seen it coming" in either the Oden case or the S11 bombings case, so why bother?
It's entirely another thing if Oden or the Green Party is known *not* to have given a damn about racial profiling, police brutality, & infringements of civil rights & liberties in general., but such is not the case here, right? -- Yoshie
