michael, Re: Explain to me what your are trying to say

What I am trying to say is the I am seeing a strange pattern both in the US government's response, the media and to some extend the general American's view about this issue. For McVeigh, it seems that the general view is it was done by an individual and I don't see the kind of response I am seeing now which is against a whole group(classified by religion or nation) which have not yet been proved to be guilty. I tried to ask why and the only difference so far I can find is that McVeigh is an American. McVeigh's lawyer has been fighting till the last minute about his death sentence as that seems to be his constitutional right but Bush was already saying 'wanted dead or alive' for Laden. I hope I am wrong.

McVeigh deserved his fate as do any other americans who would do this too.

Michael,

Exactly how did he deserve his fate? There have been people throughout the ages who were murderers yet redeemed themselves later in life. Before St. Paul was a Saint, he was known as Saul of Tarsus, and he killed many people, including women and children, no different than Timothy McVeigh.
