I'm curious. When would the "timing" be appropriate to kill dozens of non-combatant, women and children? I assume what [b]dnra[/b] is referring to is the actual [u]timing[/u] of the detonation, i.e., that if McVeigh had chosen to blow up the building at 2:00 AM, with nobody present, he would most likely be a folk hero to some. Kinda like D.B.Cooper, the skyjacker. BTW, his last words were from the poem 'Invictus.' Eric The Hun[>]:)] |

"Anybody" who deliberatley or knowingly targets innocents deserves McVeighs fate
In the end God will judge them and their ultimate fate will be far worse than dying on a table in the federal pen... McVeighs dying words probably arent nearly as memorable as his words are now... as he has just realized the truth...Jesus Christ was his only hope and McVeigh turned his back on God and now is in Hell ...tormented night and day never able to rest...his arrogance is turned to screams... It is being banded arround by pundits that McVeigh was "chronic underachiever" that he felt a failure..had poor self esteem... yadda yadda yadda...his ulitimate failure...was his failure to admit who he was and ask the Lord Jesus to forgive him...instead "he chose" to stew in his hatred and bitterness he marinated his soul in venom..and this bent human being was slowly deluded by satan and his own capitulation to evil until the day he decided to play judge jury and executioneer...I will tell you one thing my mother used to say to me God rest her soul..."but for the grace of God go I".....was McVeigh a failure ...Yes ...in every sense of the word...but his main failing was he lost his soul and he gave up eternal life in Christ...as Jesus said broad is the way to destruction but narrow is the gate to salvation and few find it....Jesus himself declared that He is the only way to salvation...and He is the narrow gate..the gate Tim McVeigh did not find.... |

We don't need to bring up the crimes of others when we discuss the crimes of McVeigh. That's a different topic entirely.
War is hell, and Dresden, Hiroshima/Nagasaki happened. So what? The only thing that McVeigh was at war with was his own inability to get on with his life after being rejected by SF. He was a misguided wannabe, pure and simple. Hypothetically speaking, if one wanted to "wage war" with the U.S Gov't, there are many more appropriate and effective targets. |

Post from boomer -
I don't know about the Revolutionary War, but how many women and children do you think we killed during the unnecessary and excessive bombing of Dresden during WWII? Hundreds of thousands, most likely, if you add up all the civilian deaths in the Allied Air War against Germany. And, though I suppose that such distinctions are lost upon the victims of such 'collateral damage' we were in a declared war at the time. I don't believe I read in the papers where McVeigh formally declared war against the Feds, the State of Oklahoma, or its citizens, PRIOR to the bombing. Looks like he carried out a 'sneak attack' [i]a la[/i] Pearl Harbor. Eric The Hun[>]:)] |

Other than the kids and visitors, the 'innocence' of the victims is a matter of debate.
Many of the federal employees may have been in 'helping' agencies (Social Security could be an example, though I don't know for a fact that they had an office there). Then you could argue about whether the 'crime' of being part of the federal machine (especially if it's one of the 'good' parts) is worth the death penalty that McVeigh put on them without trial. Do you think the majority of federal workers, even ones in 'alphabet agencies', have a good idea what the kind of effect the government has on the lives of the people? In fact, the everyday sheeple probably have become dumb to this impact themselves, some actually enjoying putting their head in the government trough. Not that many realize what it's like to feel like a fugitive or be treated like a criminal while exercising a constitutional right, even though you've taken great care to comply with the letter and spirit of the law. What McVeigh did was indiscriminately kill a bunch of people. This is what the government did in Waco (along with a number of innocent children), Ruby Ridge (oops! a couple of other innocents there, too), and Iraq, even if the government tried, at least in Iraq, to kill only the people it meant to. This is hell, folks. |

Who has killed more innocent people over the years, Timothy McVeigh or your benevolent government? Which is more worthy of your outrage? Interestingly enough, were various government agencies not behaving as they had, without any real accountability thus far, do you think the Oklahoma City bombing would have even occurred? It disturbs me that so many people are more upset with what McVeigh did than what their own government does. |

If anything he'll take a place in history as some sort of iconic villain like John Wiliks Boothe and Lee Harvey Oswald. 20 years from now we'll probably be seeing the OKC Bombing used as plot elements in TV Shows and Movies, much like the Kennedy Assasination is used today. If the X-Files is still running, a 60 year old agent Scully will find out that McVeigh was really just a pawn being manipulated by aliens. |

Inviticus
Out of the night that covers me, black as the pit from pole to pole, I thank whatever gods may be from my unconquerable soul. In the fell clutch of circumstance I have not winced nor cried aloud. Under the bludgeonings of chance my head is bloody, but unbowed. Beyond this place of wrath and tears looms but the horror of the shade, and yet the menace of the years find, and shall not, find me unafraid. It matters not how strait the gate, how charged with punishments the scroll, I am the master of my fate: I am the captain of my soul. I feel great sorrow for the passing of many, yet none so great as for the loss of liberty. Semper Fidelis Clint |
