DougR--I am using the word "deluded" in the sense that he held a "false belief held without reservation as the result of self-deception" as per the American Heritage Dictionary--it is not a psychiatrict term, and may be used without a psychiatric evaluation--

Willie-O pretty much wrapped it up the reasons that McVeigh was deluded--and by the way, TM believed a great number of Americans would understand his act and be inspired by it-- events after the bombings show that he was deluded in at least those beliefs--
