As you all know I am not left wing in the traditional sense of the word...say in the context of being a Marxist or a So************************t although of course I do support Medicare and Social Security. And of course I am anti-terrorist no matter what side of the spectrum it comes from. But I was thinking when was the last time we were struck by a group from the left radical side of things. If you include the various anti-government counter cultural groups, the PLO and groups from Europe (like the one Carlos the Jackal was in) it has been a very long time unless I am just not remembering recent attacks or missed reading about them. And including the PLO in the left camp may be debatable. Anyway the last attack I can think of right off hand as from the left is the Lockerbie bombing if you can consider Libya to have come from the left. That was in 1983.

I am not saying extreme leftist groups are good....but it seems like the attacks against America since the 90s have come from Al Qaeda or from anti-government people (Mcveigh) or individuals like the Unabomber. And of course 9-11

I think that is what was so radical about BH's idea that OWS could have done it....we just do not assume that attacks will occur from the left. Things have changed. I am sort of thinking of the Sybianese Liberation Party and Patty Hearst when I think of this......that sort of terrorist group seems not to attack us anymore. Am I wrong?

I did not google anything.
