A History of Bombing

[Edward James Almost]

I haven't read the Lindqvist text but thebrief scenario provided by Richard 
Romeo disturbs me somewhat. By highlighting fringe elements in his text 
(i.e. the Turner Diaries, etc) does Lindqvist not downplay the extent to 
which modern warfare has been bureaucratized and rationalized? As much as I 
fear survivalists and militia types, I'm intimidated more by modern states 
and their ability to wage total war. Timothy McVeigh killed 170 people (an 
atrocious number to be sure), but Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan killed 
60-70 million. It seems as though this same question should be asked in 
relation to the conflict between Israel and the Palestinians. Or maybe I 
should just read the damn book before I judge it.
