But Ayers has not reformed. He never apologized for what he did – he said in an interview published on 9/11/01 that he’s sorry he didn’t do more.
I guess the late Simon Wiesenthal was wrong to go around Nazi hunting all those years after WWII, because those guys never hurt anybody ever again and many became upright, respected citizens in their communities. Rather nasty of Wiesenthal to hold a grudge like that. Sheesh, just because his whole family was killed,…,
No, Ayers wasn’t an Eichmann. But that’s not because he lacked the stomach for killing. He just couldn’t make his dreams come true. The only difference between McVeigh and Ayers is that McVeigh built a better bomb.
I recently read an article by the son of a NY federal judge Ayers tried to kill. In fact, he tried to kill the whole family, including the son, who was 9 at the time. Boy, is that fellow an uncharitable guy – he can’t let begones be begones just because Ayers tried to kill him 35 plus years ago. Doesn’t he know Ayers is a – how did you put it – “a highly touted educator and community organizer?” Man, it was just one little bomb, it just blew out all the glass in the house, and here this guy still seems to think Ayers is, like, evil or something.
