Poll question: How many Tim McVeigh's will this Iraq War create?


McVeigh was a Gulf War veteran who said this:
"I thought ... what right did I have to come over to this person's country and kill him? How did he ever transgress against me?"

By the way, here's some wierd freeper shit about McVeigh being a possible Iraqi agent:

1. Tim McVeigh was created by the assault on the Branch Davidian compound

One of the biggest black eyes of the Clinton Administration, and one clear illustration of the need to enforce Posse Comitatus to protect the citizenry from the military being used as a police power.

2. That was part of it

From his writings, McVeigh was very troubled by how the US was bombing and killing innocent Iraqis. He did then get more radicalized by the shootings in Montana as well as the Waco event.

I personally feel there are many new McVeigh's being created now. They were probably Bush supporters that believed that Saddam was responsible fo 911 and then saw how that was a lie. They saw how when they killed innocent people in Iraq that they were lied to about why they should kill these people.

Who knows what the next few years will bring in this country to set these returning soldiers off and freak out. It is going to happen and is inevitable. It's just a matter how and when they decide to explode.

3. All I know is that if they kill Americans when a Dem is in office
then they will be celebrated by FReepers as "true patriots", just like McVeigh.
