Good arithmetic, bad logic. The man was angry. Multiply his anger. (Oh right, that's not a number and you're a man so you can't cope with abstractions like that). That anger is that same anger that fed the 9/11 attacks. Small as his violence was, so too was 9/11. Horrifying as it was, 9/11 was more publicity stunt than carnage. Remember - more people died each MONTH in Iraq as a result of sanctions than died in 9/11. Cool or crazy - you choose. God bless America. It needs all the help it can get.
