In addition, it should be notable that certain notorious terrorists currently located in Chicago are quite seriously white (Bill Ayers and his wife, late of the Weathermen) and pretty much all of the ELF and related groups are white and very definitely terrorists, not to mention Boston's favourites, the IRA. It's more an unfortunate coincidence that most currently active terrorist groups tend to have members who are darker of skin (although that's not always the case, particularly with Islamics, alot of the Chechnyans involved in Islamic terrorist groups are light-skinned, as are many Balkans or Persians, and Arabs are also Caucasian, if generally on the darker side of the spectrum) This attack does not appear to be a terrorist attack, in that it doesn't appear to have been an attack designed to change government policy by terrorizing innocent civilians. It appears to be a revenge attack directly targeted on a particular organization by an angry and not entirely well wrapped individual. -- M.
