They all say they act in the name of god. Eric Rudolph’s bombings were accompanied by letters claiming they were the work of the Army of God.
Donald Rumsfeld said, in describing U.S. vulnerabilities, that “The National Defense Strategy” declares that “our strength as a nation state will continue to be challenged by those who employ a strategy of the weak focusing on international fora, judicial processes and terrorism.”First Strike Bush has said he believes he is God’s agent too.
Will someone please tell me what’s the difference between this sort of talk and Eric Rudolph? |

Stolar, the president of the New York City chapter of the National Lawyers Guild. Those tapes showed that the demonstrators had followed the instructions of senior officers to walk down those streets, only to have another official order their arrests." |
