Tim McVeigh's crime then becomes not "murder," but "impersonating a government."
I can forgve him for that.
It's his sloppiness that's unforgivable. His targets weren't even in the building.
Tim McVeigh's legacy is that it's going to be a *real* long time before the Federal Government again attacks its citizens with tanks and snipers for simply saying "no" to a government official, and the term "collateral damage" is never going to be smugly used again to describe dead children killed by the American military in some country on the receiving end of a "message" from our President.
Must be nice to have that kind of faith.
History should remember Tim McVeigh as a decorated Gulf War veteran, who gave his life to save his country, albeit in a rather creative and not universally appreciated way.
I can forgive him for that too.
You're a nice guy. Forgiving people like that. -- -- http://www.apa.org/journals/psp/psp7761121.html It is one of the essential features of such incompetence that the person so afflicted is incapable of knowing that he is incompetent. To have such knowledge would already be to remedy a good portion of the offense.
