Tom, you seem to forget that my entire point is that its not 'laftist' radicalism or 'rightist' radicalism- its simply radicalism of any flavor that slays needlessly and is a threat to civilization.

You seem to want to do some sort of sick enumeration over corpses. What I am concerned about is that there are corpses- and you only seeing HALF the corpses as victims and only HALF the bombers as radical madmen-idelogical-murderers is, well, effing stupid.

"They don't march in parades or hold rallies because they would and have been run out of town. "

Bullshit, tom, they don't hold rallies because thats not their venue for political expression.

"Don't you see? The point I'm making is that radical Leftists are largely tolerated. The right-wing kooks are not."
