massive world wide audience and considering that muslims in other countries will become enraged by it, the totality of the potential to make huge trouble is greater. This man was a psycho and one of their traits is not getting their own savagery. Eastwood is a mean old bastard but he isn't a psycho. He knew what he was doing and how it was going to be received. He helped enure us against outrage against future wars with this tripe. He fed the lie machine like Bush and Cheney. He is worse. His effect is longer and greater than some idiot writing a book. He twisted this to make it acceptable to accept snipers and their psychotic behavior. It is worse. Think bigger picture.
