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.
Johnson, Nixon [Kissinger] and Bush Sr. come to mind...
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.

Amerika is not a free country.
Amen.

-- Yours, J.A. Terranson sysadmin@mfn.org If Governments really want us to behave like civilized human beings, they should give serious consideration towards setting a better example: Ruling by force, rather than consensus; the unrestrained application of unjust laws (which the victim-populations were never allowed input on in the first place); the State policy of justice only for the rich and elected; the intentional abuse and occassionally destruction of entire populations merely to distract an already apathetic and numb electorate... This type of demogoguery must surely wipe out the fascist United States as surely as it wiped out the fascist Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. The views expressed here are mine, and NOT those of my employers, associates, or others. Besides, if it *were* the opinion of all of those people, I doubt there would be a problem to bitch about in the first place... --------------------------------------------------------------------
