Well is it really a reach to believe that a RADICAL would step up his targets if he was to of gotten away with bombing 3.5 Million dollars worth of "just cars"?

No it's really a philosophical reach. He hadn't made it yet though had he?
What are we going to call the the murdering crazies that we used to call terrorists now? Mega-terrorists? Super-terrorists? I mean if a guy that wrecks a bunch of cars is a terrorist, then we will have to make a distinction for the bomb-strapping and hijacking crowd, won't we?
Do you really think this guy deserves to be lumped in with Timothy McVeigh? Do you think it's wise to do that? [/b][/quote]
Thats a fair question and one im not sure has a correct answer.
To my point however, the grand daddy of em all...Al-Queda.
They went from suicide bombing various small spots/targets, to opening training camps for their members, to trying to blow up the WTC, to bombing embassies in Africa to finally flying airplanes into the WTC.
See the escalation?
Why wouldnt this guy and the group he is affiliated with...escalate their targets? Hopefully harsh sentences are a deterrent to these numbskulls, though i have my doubts.
Is this guy on par with McVeigh? Nope...he didnt kill innocent people, though he easily could have and that's the bigger point IMO. Not what he actually did, but what he could of done as a result of his actions.
