The Times Square bombing

I was shocked when I heard on NPR this morning that the military recruiting station in Times Square was bombed last night, I thought I must have heard wrong or was still dreaming. I'm still flabbergasted - I can't believe someone rose above the apathy and decided to make that kind of '60s-esque political statement. I do not condone the violence of it, but at the same time it makes me wonder if real change could be on the horizon, if Americans will start caring enough again that this country has gotten ridiculously far away from its idealistic roots to begin to take (preferably nonviolent) action. Maybe if Obama is elected we will begin to head in the right direction.
