I Still Wonder If The

I Don't Know What Happens If They Get Bin Laden. I'm Much More Interested In What Happens If They Don't Get Bin Laden.

Osama Bin Laden Is Not Well Read And He's Not Sophisticated, But He Will Have Worked Out Very Coldly What America Would Do In Response To This Attack 9/11. I'm Sure He Wanted America To Attack Afghanistan. Once You Do What Your Enemy Wants, You Are Walking Into A Trap, Whether You Think It's The Right Thing To Do Or Not.

I've Lived In The Middle East For Twenty-five Years. I Know Exactly How These Issues Come Up. Even My Landlord, Who Is A Moderate Lebanese Guy, Says, "but Bin Laden Says What We Think." These People Believe That Osama Bin Laden Is Being Targeted Not Because Of The World Trade Center And Washington; They Are Not Convinced By The Evidence That Has Been Produced. They Believe He's Being Targeted Because He Tells The Truth.

Unfortunately, Osama Bin Laden Puts His Finger On The Other Longstanding Injustices In The Arab World: The Conying So. And, Tinued Occupation Of Palestinian Land By The Israelis; The Enormous, Constant Arab Anger With The Tens Of Thousands Of Iraqi Children Who Are Dying Under Sanctions; The Feelings Of Humiliation Of Millions Of Arabs Living Under Petty Dictators, Almost All Of Whom Are Propped Up By The West.

War Is Primarily Not About Victory Or Defeat But About Death And The Infliction Of Death. It Represents The Total Failure Of The Human Spirit.
