In today's Wall Street Journal there was a "Viewpoint" on this subject. The closing sentence said: "If the administration very obviously reserves 'terrorist' as an epithet for socio-political violence it dislikes, then the conclusion must be that there are forms of socio- political violence--such as anti-abortion bombings--that it views in a tolerant and sympathetic light, and which it refuses to denounce." I remember thinking during the debates, when Reagan mentioned terrorism, that Mondale ought to have jumped on Reagan's tacit encouragement of clinic bombings. But he let that opportunity go by, as he did a few other opportunities that I'd have liked to see him use. Maybe it wouldn't have changed the outcome, but it would have made more explicit exactly what people were voting for. -- Richard Mateosian {cbosgd,decwrl,fortune,hplabs,ihnp4,seismo}!nsc!srm nsc!srm@decwrl.ARPA
