Nonsense. Targeting innocents is evil according to EVERY human culture. The fact that people do it, does not make it "relative." It just makes them evil. Period.
Not according to Tim May. He was the one who wrote that he was becoming convinced that Tim McVeigh had done the right thing. "Some innocents died, but hey, war is hell. Broken eggs and all that." Those are his exact words, May 9, 1997. He's also the one that has called for the burning of millions of innocents by nuclear fire.
If targeting innocents is evil, what can we say about those who applaud such actions? Doesn't Tim May, by his own words, show himself to be evil by the standards of every civilized human culture?
100 million or more persons have died in the last 100 years through the actions of statists like Mao, Stalin, Roosevelt, Hitler, Pol Pot, Amin, and a dozen others like them. If D.C is someday incinerated in an act of thermonuclear purification, I will cheer. In a free country, I am entitled to cheer. However, Amerika is not a free country. Several Arabs were arrested a few days ago in New Jersey for cheering the WTC action. Others are being detained nationwide. And the U.S.G. is calling on other countries to "stop" (suppress) any show of joy over the events. So much for free expression. Amerika is not a free country. Hasn't been since Lincoln. --Tim May
