Even if you accept his thesis that bombing the oppressor is a reasonable approach, killing children does not make much sense. >> I'm not sure who Michael is addressing in this statement, nor have I read the original, BUT, to in any way validate mcveigh's actions by saying he is attacking the oppressor is pretty outrageous. McVeigh is an inveterate racist and his motives for the bombing were to punish a government which is perceived as providing protection for non-Caucasians. Having others treated equally is, in racist views, oppression of those they think should be a ruling class. McVeigh would replace our current government with an outright fascist regime which would oppress all those who, in the language of racists, should have no rights to begin with. maggie coleman [EMAIL PROTECTED]
