American Terrorist
So today marks the 15th anniversary of the Oklahoma City Bombing. It’s quite interesting that there is a growing concern towards right wing home bred terrorism in America today. It is important to note that Timothy McVeigh isn’t your typical psychopath, like the serial killers and school shooters of the past. I’m sure he had some psychological problems, but McVeigh also had a cause, one that was political and antagonistic towards his government. He was an American version of Osama Bin Laden, minus the religious extremism. Nonetheless, his image and actions seem to no longer linger in the media, as if he has no influence. However, there are numerous gun loving, government hating Americans who view today’s economic downturn as an opportunity to continue along McVeigh’s path. There is an immenient threat at home, yet the onus is still on a Suadi living in a romote cave.
oh yeah and one serious domestic terror threat and its bye bye all civil rights, all rights to privacy, this nation could go under military rule overnight. A domestic 9-11 would be the death knell in our democracys coffin.
