Gosh, by your standards, blowing up the federal building in OK City was just Timothy McVeigh's way of staying politically active, too. There's little doubt that what McVeigh did in Oklahoma was politically motivated. In fact McVeigh said it was done in retribution to the evil done in Waco by the Feds. Much of the payments to suicide bombers in Palestine also comes from Saudi Arabia and other parts of the Middle East. Saddam was one of many contributors to that end. And if you don't think it was politically motivated, then pray tell why did Saddam make those payments? Why did he do so in such a public and announced manner?
