We have been on vacation and have little opportunity to update the blog, but the events in Boston have made me think about what constitutes terrorism and who the players are.
I find it most striking that the President can't seem to get energized when he talks about the bombs and the action the government is (should) be taking to find the perpertrators responsible. When he talks I get the feeling that he is bored and uninterested in the subject and is just talking about the problem because it's an expected thing for him to do. I wish I were wrong, but it goes along with his style of government by fiat and demonizing of any one who questions his tactics.
Perhaps he isn't interesting in pursuing the subject of terrorist bombings because his close friend and Chicago mentor, Bill Ayers made his reputation by being a domestic terrorist and is still proud of the actions he took as a younger man. To this day Ayers has refused to do anything other than brag about his history and still considers a bomb to be a political statement.
Since the Presidential thinking is much influenced by the Chicago political code it appears that deep down he doesn't see any problem with terrorism as a political tool.
