RE: Boston Bombing aftermath, any similarity to the Lincoln assassination aftermath?
My only point was that both MAY have been brainwashed into doing what they did. I wouldn't even have thought of any similarities if not for this thread.
The bombers apparently did spare the SUV driver's life because he was not American. I wasn't implying that Powell was a terrorist or anything else. I just hope that someone can interrogate the bomber and shed some light on the "psychology" of some of these Jekyll/Hyde personalities (terrorists, etc.). As an afterthought, and in all fairness, I do think that if Powell had been ordered by someone who he regarded as a legitimate authority figure, to blow up the White House, he would have done it, and he probably would not have stopped to think if any women and children were in it at the time. He himself said that his zeal (can't remember his exact words) would have carried him alot further than just attempting to assassinate Seward. He would have felt remorse afterward, as he did with the Seward assassination attempt, but that would not have helped the victims any. |
