DOMESTIC TERRORISTS--OVERBLOWN OR HOMEGROWN? Earier we posted from Sigmund, Carl and Alfred about lessons from the Virginia Tech massacre:

When violence or threats of violence are considered legitimate forms of political or social expression, inevitably violence or threats of violence will manifest themselves. Terror has becomes an accepted form of political and social expression, that status granted by those who most profess to be non violent or peaceful.

Now, in reaction to the pictures Cho sent to NBC Charles Krauthammer points out that

if you look at that picture, it draws its inspiration from the manifestos, the iconic photographs of the Islamic suicide bombers over the last half-decade in Palestine, in Iraq, and elsewhere. That’s what they end up leaving behind, either on al Jazeera or Palestinian TV. And he, it seems as if his inspiration for leaving the message behind in that way, might have been this kind of suicide attack, which, of course, his was.

There are lessons from the Virginia Tech massacre on many levels.
This is another one that has to be taken seriously.
