The missing element there is that in so many other tragedies, the greatest portion of tragedy..even... we play no personal role of complicity or responsibility - however...everything our governments do, in the end, come down to us. It's all in our name. Many bad things happen to many people for many reasons. At least some of those, if not all, are beyond our realm of remit. Those that are done in our name with our assent or consent are another category of specific things altogether.
Killers kill. sure. But killing killers because they kill isn't gravity. It doesn't just happen. It is not beyond our control in the way that killers killing..is.
