Hey Palestinians! Good news! Bin Laden’s on the case. Clearly, it’s only a matter of time until all of your problems are solved! Just ask those cats in the Taliban!
Osama Bin Laden (or someone playing the role) recently explained on newly released audio tapes that the reason Bin Laden and his crew is fighting western civilization (us) is the Palestinian struggle.
I think most reasonable people want a fair solution to the Palestinian/Israeli problem. Americans do understand that there’s two sides to every issue and although our government is a strong supporter of Israel, they do understand that the Palestinians have some valid points in their case against the Israelis.
A little tip from me to the Palestinians, don’t cozy up to Osama and his band of terrorists. There’s no surer way to prolong the current unresolved status of Palestine.
And as for Bin Laden himself, who can take him seriously when he tries to add reason to his insane acts? Since the Twin Towers came down, Bin Laden has claimed various explanations for waging a terrorist campaign against the west. Our presence in Saudi Arabia, the perceived threat to Muslims’ freedom to practice their religion, our culture offending his with our more liberal stance on the role of women (like we actual allow them to have one) and I could go on, but the point is made.
Bin Laden is a little evil man desperately trying to grab onto any chance to explain his inexplicable actions in order to win allies. All, of course, so that he might one day be able to crawl out from under his rock.
Maybe President Bush is right after all and Osama Bin Laden IS irrelevant.
Still, I look forward to the day that Bin Laden is called to judgement and made to pay for his crimes, whether here on Earth or in front of God himself. Either way, I’m betting his rationale isn’t going to win anyone over.
