You're avoiding answering his question by saying that your points should not lead to his question.
While you're probably right about the lack of participation of others in the OK City bombing, you're not quite right to say McVeigh was "backed by no organization." How do you think he met Terry Nichols?
You're probably well up on this point, but if not, take a quick "Google" of the term "Christian Identity". What Taxwonk seems to be asking is whether we should now, or should have then, taken violent action against all those Americans in, affiliated with, or supporting that movement after the OK City bombings. [Or, perhaps, a mostly separate group -- all those Americans who quietly support the murder of doctors who commit abortions.]
Taxwonk may not know, (or it may not be relevant to his point) that a combination of government infiltration, economic recovery, and forcible federal responses against certain goups drained much of the life out of the Christian Identity movement in the late 1990s. Still, his question remains: Should we kill them all to keep the movement from rising again?
