But, I think that we must be careful in how we react. I personally take exception to your inclusion of Koresh. and McVeigh with this new abhorrence. Both of these men, when one takes the time to analyze the cases in depth, can be considered to be "victims" of misguided militarist governmental toxic atmosphere that prevailed at the time of their tragic blunders. I would suggest that you think about re-writing your "blog" offering to reflect a fuller understanding of extreme political "action and reaction." <br /><br />Blessings and peace, <br />Jerry Hoke <br />+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++<br />"That they all may be one, as thou, Father, in me, and I in thee; that they also may be one in us. . ."

The story had a 24-hour news cycle, then it dropped off the radar. What if he had been a brown-skinned Muslim?<br /> <br />There is a US government definition of Terrorism that basically defines terrorism/terrorist as: <br />"any person(s) and/or group who use violence or the threat of violence to achieve political, social, or religious goals."<br /> <br />That includes the Alabama Redneck, the Austin Plane Bomber, and the US military (of which I am a former member).<br /> <br />Feel free to put this on your comments section<br /> <br />Signed<br /> <br />Former-terrorist-who-never- killed-anybody<br /> <br />Joey B King<br />Member, National Board of Directors<br />Veterans For PeaceJoey B.
