Incompetent

Here is how the Boston Marathon terrorists were and are incompetent:

  • They failed to figure out how to have an effective and peaceful voice that actually could get something positive done in society.  
  • They failed to learn how to rally for a cause they believed in while still maintaining a loving and caring attitude towards those around them.  
  • They failed to critically think and analyze what it was they were being taught.
  • They failed to understand history and the repeated failure of terrorist after terrorist to accomplish their goal.
  • They  failed to think with any creativity about how they could achieve their goals without violence.
  • They failed to have faith in how things can change and move forward without violence.
  • They failed to understand that their means are not justified, no matter what their ends are.
The list can go on and on.  What would you add?
