I wish we could ask Timothy McVey a few questions now. It sounds like Saddam gets the rope in less than 4 hours or so. Then it will all be academic.

Tim didn't really operate completely alone. He was networked with other like minded people. If his event had been well received, I believe we would have seen some extremist groups in America acting like insurgents. There was a large organized paramilitary network meeting regularly at the time in various outback regions of America. When Tim's bomb went off it had the opposite effect of what he hoped for. He hoped it would be the first shot of an American Revolution. The public response, as well as the actions of our justice system had a huge effect on the radical extremists who seemed to disappear from the forest camps and return to lives of relative assimilation. Would you trade that for a conversation with Tim? There are plenty of people still around who could probably speak to that type of thinking... Try the death cult thread. What would you ask Tim?
