24. What does this mean?
No one's saying that McCain killed the 21 people, or that his visit in any way justified this barbaric massacre. However, as you say, it appears to have "led to it." His callous disregard and exploitation of these people for the purpose of telling an outrageous lie (that the market was safe) served as a cause for the killers to demonstrate otherwise. Predictably. The vendors themselves said they were being endangered as a result of his visit. McCain proved he was willing to risk the lives of innocent people so that he could put on a show about himself. And they died.
