Boston Bombing aftermath, any similarity to the Lincoln assassination aftermath?

Powell would not have killed or wounded women and children - his own words, as he told Dr. Gillette, being "Men do not make war on women."

I agree with Jenny (post #4), I don't see any similarity bewteen the two. Booth was politicaly motivated and Powell was following orders, they had specific people targeted for assassination. The Boston Bombers don't seem to have cared who they killed or injured. No reason for their actions has yet been uncovered, Booth left behind reasons why he acted the way he did.
