I respectively submit that the use of the word "Martyr" to describe one who kills innocents to send a terrible message is used in error. Recorded history will not substitute martyr for murderer.

There are those that feel that Government has killed senselessly (Waco etc.) and are taking revenge, but an eye for an eye will not bring justice but only create feuds. Mistakes happen but McVeigh planned his.

A martyr is one who sacrifices himself (not his fellow men, women and children) for a chosen principal. Why didn't he self immolate like the Buddhist monks?
