"To think that doing that would stop the war." I doubt he believed that. You had to had been there Z. Imagine if we ahd a draft NOW, and Iraq was ten times larger and more horrific than it is, and they were after YOU, to send YOU over there like a slave to kill or be killed, by people you had absolutely no quarrel with for a dumbass ideological theory. You choice was to go, go to prison, flee the country, or RESIST. Police were just regarded as part of the larger system.

<<I understand Ayers is pretty smart. Not a moron. So I think he knew what he was doing by putting shrapnel filled bombs in police stations. He was trying to kill "pigs". << Maybe, but that makes him stupid in my book. To think that doing that would stop the war. He wasn't just concerned about the war. And he didn't want to "stop" it. He wanted America defeated. >How about the two Obama supporters who threw a firebomb into a McCain supporters yard - trying to end the war, were they?< Straw man. BTW, I did a Google search trying to find evidence that they were Obama supporters. Came up dry. Deny the obvious. We both know who someone is for who throws a firebomb cause a house has a McCain sign. >How could anyone end a war by bombing police station, judges houses, and even an officers dance? Why would you even talk as if the idea made sense or could have been in anyway justifiable? That's my friggin' point! They weren't just about the war. America was an evil racist empire they wanted defeated and overthrown even if it hadn't been in VN.
