I thought this was supposed to be hypothetical, not rhetorical...

Clearly yes, Timothy McVeigh is a terrorist.

Did he really write this?  Was this the motivation behind the bombing?

I dunno, do his words speak a kind of sick genius, or are they hollow
because they resonate against the dead souls of his victims?  Still, he
seems to have real grievances that motivated him.  So yeah, terrorist I guess...

But how do we stop producing McVeighs, Larry? Maybe the U.S. should stop
making the world safe for democracy or whatever...

...I think I hear James Monroe turning in his grave.
