The Amtrack derailment reminds me to re-post this from last summer.

Subject: TERRORISM: Left, Right and Religious

Twenty five years ago today a terrorist gang used a truck load of ammonium
nitrate-and -fuel oil to blow up the Math Research Center on the UW Madison
campus. They were Leftists, protesting the US policy in Southeast Asia.
Recently a terrorist gang used a truck load of the same to bomb the NY
World Trade Center. They were moslems protesting US society and policy in
the middle east. This spring terrorists used a truck load of the same to
blow up the Oklahoma City building. They were Rightists protesting the US
government.  The word is out that anti-US terrorists plan to attack a US
airport, and security is being tightened.

Now here is my question: if I am in a building and it is bombed, how will I
know who did it? I mean if I am going to be blown to pieces, I want the
satisfaction of knowing it was done by good patriotic Americans, and not
some foreigners, or pinko hippies. But how can I tell?
