When the United States Government murdered the child of Saddam Hussein the common American attitude was "broken eggs, and all that." I know because I lamented the act and was roundly criticized as an idiot who didn't understand how the real world works, etc., etc, justify, justify. When the chickens come home to roost, however, after yet another U.S. Government act of aggression, there is a great hue and cry throughout the land about only a "monster" could kill children. Suddenly, the lives of children become so precious and sacrosanct that those responsible for taking those lives must be given supreme punishment. God bless Timothy McVeigh for exposing the mindless hypocrisy of the American people, as well as the _mindful_ hypocrisy of the Government Rulers of Amerika. Billy Graham, as the populist representative of Christianity, visits the White House but we are little likely to see him visiting McVeigh because some children's lives seem to be more precious than others, and those who take them are subject to different moral judgments. A famous newspaper correspondent received a telegram from his editor questioning his expense report, which listed a huge bill for a breakfast which included caviar. The reporter telegraphed back, "Eggs is eggs." The message of the American people and the U.S. Government is being received loud and clear: "American eggs are more precious than foreign eggs. The eggs of _normal_ (translate=="mainstream") Americans are more precious than _aberrant_ (translate--"cult") eggs." The message of the American news media is loud and clear: "Break some lifeless buildings with your bombs and we will make you a side dish in the back pages of some minor publication. Break enough eggs and we will make an omlette big enough to feed the entire world." Waco was nothing more than a "wake-up call" that many Americans slept through. Timothy MvVeigh did not--he woke up and crowed loud enough for all of us to hear. The American government, people and press, however, want merely to shut him up and go back to sleep, pretending that there still isn't enough light to see their own sins and rectify them. There are no telling how many lives could be saved if the press wrote meaningfully about the inevitability of chickens coming home to roost instead of supporting the notion that the solution to a crowing cock is to cut his head off. There are other roosters in the barnyard. There will be more sunrises. Americans are now loudly calling for McVeigh to receive an electrical message complaining about the high cost of the breakfast bill on the expense report he provided us. I wouldn't be surprised if his final words were, "Eggs is eggs." Anne Accountant
