Victory in the "War" against Terror

A major victory in the effort (sometimes mistakenly called a "war") against terrorism occurred today, 2003 May 31. A notorious terrorist who has planted bombs in a gay bar, an abortion clinic and the Atlanta 1996 Olympics has been captured. Eric Rudolph was found unexpectedly near a store in the extreme western tip of North Carolina. From what I have heard about Eric Rudolph, he is a Christian terrorist, the same as Osama bin Laden is an Islamic one. Like Osama, he has targeted institutions that don't fit his narrow version of religion. I am hoping that extra efforts to combat terrorists in general since Planeattack have helped capture this terrorist. I believe he has had help escaping authorities over the years, probably from some right-wing extremist group. The leaders of this group should be hunted down and captured just like those of Al Qaeda. And it shows that not all notorious terrorists are Muslim or Al Qaeda. We have some in this country.
