DK, I understand your point and in all likelihood, if I were to read his manifesto I'd problee agree with his as well. My point still remains that once you utilize violence to push a point, any point, no matter how reasonable or valid it is, you will cease to find agreement with it even from the bulk of people who would otherwise agree with you. In other words your ideology becomes divisive and actually will lose support instead of gaining it.

While I also agree his killings were intended to attract people to view his manifesto and instill fear in people allowing their children to be politically indoctrinated I'd still say the best result he achieved in this was to outrage a whole country who now are looking at changes to their laws just so they can keep this lunatic in jail for the rest of his life. I don't think these were the changes he intended to promote so his agenda again falls short.

Similar to when we were attacked on 9-11 I doubt the terrorists really understood they would wake the long slumbering giant of American solidarity in having attacked us, nor that our cries for their blood would be so vociferous either. While they did manage to instill a certain amount of fear into our culture I doubt seriously they intended to also unify all Americans in doing so.

I'll grant you that many people are ignorant of a lot of world history and also that the war between Xtians and Mooslims is far from over, actually I see culmination of that war coming and it's gonna be a real doozy if it ever truly breaks out in the ways it could.

Nice True Romance vid, I've always liked Dennis Hoppers speech in that piece. Reminds me of the cartoon of the mouse shootin the finger at the eagle that's about to kill it.

I don't wanna see the world burn or wiped out but if I were like the cat in "The Lathe of Heaven" I'd go to sleep every night hopin I'd dream that all religions would disappear from the face of the earth
