"From a faith perspective, the execution this week [June 10, 2001] of terrorist Timothy McVeigh raises a variety of questions. One of the biggest is this one: Morally, what should your response be to those who hurt you? How do you respond to someone like McVeigh, who drove a truck loaded with explosives to a federal office building in Oklahoma City. The bomb killed 168 people." (KANSAS CITY STAR) This article examines the moral dilemmas raised by the actions and execution of Timothy McVeigh.
