This was the way the headline read on CNN. I am trying to better understand what's happening there. The initial story on CNN were about the 136 people (if memory serves) that were burned inside of a Church. Why was a Church?

The stories that CNN are carrying is attributing the violence to "tribal tensions." Does anyone have a different take on what's happening in Kenya and the reasons for it? Can anyone suggest a different news outlet that is covering and reporting on the story differently?

I dunno whats really going on - I don't know if anyone really does :S For what I can see it seems to be an excuse for lawlessness. On the news tonight I saw the bodies of men, women and children killed in fighting, either beaten, hacked or stoned to death. There was actually some footage of a poor guy being set upon by a guy with a machete. Part of me thinks they should not have shown that at 7pm - but then the other part thinks - why should we not be exposed to what these people are going through.

From what I can see - for some people it seems to be an excuse to kill and maim. I can see any real point to any of the killing. Craziness.
