>Why would people lynch an acquittal jury? People didn't lynch the 12 jurors who acquitted O.J. Simpson, after all....

You must be joking or the lack of swimming in a clean beach got your mind warped or something. Two words for you: Rodney King.

>what really shatters the US's public opinion is the depressing evidence that the most savage crimes perpetrated on US soil turn out to be "in-house violence" --not imported hatred.

you got a point here at least. But all of these are perpetrated by "unstable" and "deranged loonies". OK City was mass terror.

>So, going back to my point, it'd have been much more soothing for the US public opinion to watch the FBI nailing some foreign bastard instead of Joe Six-Pack.

I disagree here. How could they admit that a foreign based terrorist organization could strike in OK City, the heartland of the US??? If they could strike there, they could strike ANYWHERE...and we are not talking about amateur ish acts like the World Trade center bombing...Instead, the govt blamed it AGAIN on some deranged loonie who just happened to belong in the right wing camp and we all know how loonie these people could be, right?

>If some Islamic or Third-World mastermind were planning a terrorist attack on US territory, they'd go for a BIGTIME target since they'd try to achieve the highest psychological impact.

I disagree again. Totally destroying a federal building in a city right in the center of US probably had a much more lasting effect. In addition, it must have been easier to execute than a high profile target. How could people take it here if these guys got away? Not very good for sure. But now, the loonie will get the death penalty and we feel much safer since the govt can watch these loonie groups better.

>The above are just a few examples of what hardcore terrorists mean by TERROR,

OK City was TERROR, a federal building in the US heartland totally destroyed, over 160 dead, among them many children.

>By God, GI Tim McVeigh had to do something about it.... had to give it a swill!

An admirable frame job was done to frame this guy and most people have fallen for it. Maybe one day we get to find out the truth. By the way, do you think Tim McVeigh may have been trained by MOssad?<ggg>
