Only one of them can write so eloquently.
The Zapatistas are not psychotically violent in ways that McVeigh and suicide bombers are. They hold country-wide 'encuentros' where people gather and talk about the political situation and what to do about it.
One major 'encuentro' had every person 16 and older vote, and they received something like a 97% confirmation to continue the fight against the Mexican government as necessary.
Note also, they only used weapons for 12 days in 1994, and have relied upon citizens, debate and discussion, and democratic action ever since.
They are true heros.
