What would be worse: a terrorist from another land blowing up some buildings or a terrorist from 
another land hijacking a presidential campaign and ensuring that one candidate wins over 
another? I think that hijacking a presidential campaign is about the worst thing that anyone can
do in a democracy. I'm a bit shocked that not everyone sees it this way. Like Donovan I'm no fan
of Ayers but to post anything on this topic without condemning Liddy seems to be an insult to our
form of government. Why not at least throw in a "Oh, by the way taking the vote for president out
of the people and putting it into the hands of a few is a very, very bad thing."

If I light your apartment building on fire and, by the grace of God, no one is injured or killed am I mearly guilty of failure to obtain a permit for an open burn?

If you can demonstrate to me (an online article etc.) he killed someone, I will accept your statement as fact. Otherwise, I say your judgment and understanding on this matter is deeply in question.

When the vermin in Baghdad or Sader City or Fallujah set of IED's they don't know the names of those they are attempting to murder and maim. Is it your contention that they are not trying to kill people?
