Re: Bin Laden Speaks
YoAliens, I am not a Bin Laden supporter and you damn well know it. I said at the beginning of this that I don't support what he's done and for you to imply is unimaginable. Just because I can see the validity of the political points that he makes does not mean that I agree with him; it just means that I realize that he's not this irrational psycho that the government paints him to be.
And, despite the fact that when you said it you were being sarcastic, I AM trying to educate people by showing them that there's a reason that he's doing what he's doing and it's not just to kill people.

Re: Bin Laden Speaks
i personally think something needs to happen to HIM and the alquada(sp) for the attacks BUT i think that bin laden is trying to speak of a truce or an understanding that if we leave "his" people alone then he will leave us alone.

She's so big hearted
but not so remarkable
just an ordinary humble girl
expecting nothing as we may
to think it's a pretty person's worth
you are beautiful
and you'd better go show it
so go and look again
you gotta be true only if you really wanna go to the top and you really wanna win
don't believe in living normal
just to satisfy demand
Well, if you wanna get free
and if wanna get smart by the sake of your heart
you should own your lame and stand up tall

Re: Bin Laden Speaks
The question is: if Bin Laden was sincere, and he would not attack us so long as we stopped interfering in the Middle East, do you think that the US could swallow its pride and back out of the region?
Unfortunately, I think I know the answer to that question.

Democracy. It rolls off the tongue nicely. Better than others. I can say it, spell it, define it, but can?t admit to ever believing it. So convoluted has it become that it has mesmerized generations into a comma of perfect sublimity. You dance to the music of your youth, identify with your own memory, become a time capsule of numb comfort. And there, mired in the exhaustion of a life in progress, you surrender your right to question for the luxury of not being bothered.

these terrorst acts against the united states are not anything new. i dont see how they would stop even if we did pick up and leave. i dont really think it has to do with pride anyways.

Re: Bin Laden Speaks
Yes, they've been happening ever since the West has been interfering with their affairs. And we have never stopped. So they see no reason to cease their actions against us, so long as we carry out terrorism (as they see it) against them.

Re: Bin Laden Speaks
Saudi Arabia has one of the worst human rights records in the world. Why aren't we dealing with that problem? Bin Laden is right in one aspect: We're in there to serve our own interests, not "make the world a better place."

so you would support running away from this problem instead of dealing with it?[/b][/quote]
In this instance, 'running away' is solving the problem. We've been subjected to terrorism from that region ever since we started muddling around in their business.
