Again, we know that media obsession over a single attacker has actual, measurable effects on violence rates. If we have the option of not naming these attackers, we should take it. They are not leaders of nations, they are not part of groups, they are literally trying to be celebrities.

We can talk about what they did and what they believed, but we don't have to name them and turn them into celebrities. We don't have to become publishers of their propaganda.

It's not "realistic" if there's literally no universe in which a leader can prove to you that they actually care. Nobody can prove that they feel a certain way to somebody else. At least if they do the right thing, we can be happy. Invading Iraq wasn't the right thing, even at the time.
