81. I was more concerned about future acts of terrorism after Oklahoma City...
since if the feds did their job, the threat from foreign terrorists would be relatively low--simply stop giving expedited visas to Saudis on terror watch lists--but the militia movement at the time of the Oklahoma City federal building bombing was much broader based and had rhetorical support from right wing talk radio.

The only reason I'm not so worried about it now is I've realized those on the right are loud-mouthed cowards. They would like very much to go Rwanda on the rest of us, but since they didn't do so when Bush was at the height of his popularity and the right controlled all three branches of government, it is unlikely they would do so now, when the right has only minuscule support, except in isolated incidents.
