I do not think this is the work of home grown terrorists. The note left with the bomb sounds way to ambiguious in it's message. It's suggestion of repression of the "Peope" by the government sounds much too middle estern, trying to sound western, to me. Spreading terror is how these imported terrorists work, and blowing up themselves , instead of mailboxes, would be much too obvious. No, I think this is Middle Eastern Terrorism.

That's what I was thinking, too. When I first read the text of the notes left behind, it did not strike me as being written by a rural redneck (I grew up as a rural redneck). I think somebody from somewhere else is trying to sound western.

I've learned about the history of various civilizations in history, and I see more and more limitation. Do you people enjoy this trend of limitation?

I'm obtaining your attention in the only way I can.

Who talks like that? This isn't something written by a disgruntled rural heartlander.

The messages being left with pipebombs in mailboxes in IL/IA/NE contain this phrase: "Mailboxes are exploding! Why, you ask?"

I think that has a South Slav "lilt" to it. Dan Ackroyd and Steve Martin used to do this one quite well - however, they called their characters "Two Czech Brothers". It didn't sound quite Czech, but more Serbo-Croatian.
