Terrorism is not a criminal problem. Timothy McVeigh was one
guy acting
witha  couple of others. If there was a nationwide network
of people blowing
up buildings in an attempt to destabilize and ultimately
take control of the
country, you better damn well believe that would be more
than a criminal
problem. It would be civil war.
