10/30 You know, after watching the Bin Laden video, I couldn't help it
thinking... wow, he's a pretty calm, intelligent guy with a pretty
clear message, unlike our Chimp in Chief who loses temper and can't
even speak English and construct clear ideas.
\_ You're nuts or a troll. OBL is a lunatic.
\_ I don't think he's a lunatic in the sense of being a frothing
at the mouth, raving mad kind of lunatic. I think he probably
does have an understandable beef with the US, and he's not
trying to be a terrorist just for the hell of it. Of course,
his decision to take it as far as actively plotting to and
then actually killing people is presumably what you think
makes him a lunatic, but I think it's a rational and considered
move, albeit one I disagree with.
\_ I don't think it's rational in that it will ultimately prove
counterproductive to his cause. Attacking the US historically
had not proven itself to be a smart thing to do. -- ilyas
\_ well the US gov historically does not negociate, period,
leaving the poor ppl with no choice but to resort to
terrorism.
\_ US should negotiate with whom? For what? What do you
mean 'no choice?' Are you trolling? -- ilyas
\_ Well he wants Islamic theocracy and thinks the USA stands in
the way of that (which it does). His methods are rational in
that desiring to achieve his goals by force they're probably
the only possibility. But his goals are insane and evil. |
