John Hinderaker of Power Line does a very interesting analysis of three recent events, and suggests that they are not equivalent. He looks at the arrest by the FBI of the Hutaree crazies who planned to kill a cop, the arrest of the man who threatened the life of Congressman Eric Cantor, and the two women who suicide bombed the Moscow subway, killing dozens in the process.
Hinderaker suggests that the first two are different than the third, and I find his argument somewhat persuasive. See what you think.
