Sure, but I don't think that was a necessary outcome. Consider this quote: "I felt disgusted about what my uncontrolled sexual cravings had almost led me to do.

I agree he went with something common to the time. But I don't think that was a necessary outcome. After all, his approach didn't achieve his goals, so we can't say his sort of terrorism is any more rational than aiming for something bigger. Indeed, the nominal goals he ended up with, one could argue that mass-death terrorism is more rational.
