[R-G] THIS is terrorism

   It's undoubtable that such killings are clearly terrorism -- they fit the 
classic definition of the word.

   But in terms of the US, I feel a different approach needs to be taken to 
counteract such anti-abortion people. The standard response is to call in the 
authorities to do something.

   To me, encouraging the US state to thwart these thugs is the wrong 
approach. The last think we in the US need is to feed the US gov't more 
propaganda and domestic anti-terrorism "food." That will surely come back to 
haunt the larger left in the US as that anti-terrorism mindset is perverted 
in new ways we can barely imagine.

   What's the solution? To reenergize the pro-choice movement. Think back to 
Obama talking at Notre Dame and the (small) anti-abortion protests there. Why 
wasn't there counter/pro-choice people in action? Sure, the corporate mass 
media may have ignored them, but as I recall, there were simply no pro-choice 
protesters/supporters in action.

   Whatever the tactic used, to call for the state to crack down on "domestic 
terrorism" is a tactic that will be eventually used not primarily against 
right-wing groups, but against radicals on the left side of the spectrum.
