Further thoughts on OBL's love letter to the EU bluebloods.

This truce, the message said, was to deny ``the warmongers'' further opportunities and because polls have shown that ``most of the European peoples want reconciliation'' with the Islamic world.

Two fallacies in one sentence: (1) it's the terrorist who are "warmongers," actually trying to impede the US from simply helping a nation have freedom and build hospitals, and (2) OBL don't represent Islam.

In a reference to terror attacks on the United States and Spain, the voice said that ``what happened on Sept. 11 and March 11 was your goods delivered back to you.''

Again, we can play the tit-for-tat game, too. It ain't one incident. The unwashed shoot-guns-in-air groups have been terrorising people for years. Arafat was once a young man -- and he was militant. It may not be him, but when I look at OBL I see the same type of man who shoots a man in a wheelchair and tosses him into the sea. Except OBL's a lot better at running and hiding.

The message also vowed revenge for Israel's killing of Yassin last month, which provoked international outrage. ``We vow before God to take revenge for him from America for this, God willing,'' it said.
|
Wait, erm... syntax error does not compute. Israel killed Yassin so the terrorists will take revenge on the US? OBL needs some remedial logic classes.

The message said that American policy ignores the ``real problem,'' which is ``the occupation of all of Palestine.''

Boy, what to do here? I think it's just a good excuse to hate non-muslims. It's certainly a problem that's been facing the region for 3000 or more years. There were just a LOT of militant peoples who developed in the area. Israel had the misfortune of living along their trade routes, but generally it's been one heck of a ride for the region. Can we preserve all these peoples and ethnicities and countries and cultures into the future? Should we? With so many militant cultures clashing in one spot, logic dictates that some must die out, doesn't it?
