...and their kidnapping and murder of German Hanns-Martin Schleyer, whose only crime was being a capitalist working for Daimler-Benz?

Here's a 1977 Time magazine quote to refresh your memory:

"The West German terrorists, in their flamboyant leftist rhetoric, claim to speak for the oppressed working class. In fact, most of these urban radicals are the university-educated sons and daughters of middle-class homes, and their goal is ruthlessly nihilistic: the destruction, by any means, of a prosperous democracy whose constraints and balances, ironically, allow them the freedom to preach and practice their radicalism."

More often than not the killer-terrorists are leftists:

Baader-Meinhof (Red Army Faction) 18-25 murders committed (1972-77)

Min Beirut (Palestinian Commando Organization) Kills Pilot Jurgen Schumann after demanding release of members of Red Army Faction and safe passage to Somalia or Viet Nam.

"Somalia had long been a haven for Palestinian terrorists who have even set up training camps there."

"Marxist Montoneros of Argentina"
"Japanese Red Army"
"Armed Forces of National Liberation of Puerto Rico"

Yes...the majority of the world's terrorist organizations are leftist. The most violent are leftist.

Nowadays, Time magazine doesn't use leftist like a dirty word - since most of their reporters now fall into that category.

Germany now has a Chancellor who himself seems like he grew up admiring the Red Army Faction and their leftist claptrap.

As for your Watergate paranoia - you are hopelessly stuck in 1972. You can move on now...Viet Nam is safely communistic and all the south Vietnamese are dead or in California. The bad bogeyman Nixon is dead and buried and you can jump up and down for joy.

Yes, these kidnappers were really US special agents gathering information about an attack by Saddam on Germany and the US in the Iraqi embassy! Naturally, foreign embassies have secret war plans strewn all about them!

You're true to form again,
