hoho that abit tense to the crying ppl over 9/11 (they should really acknowledge how many OTHER people died because of amaricas damn terror war) bush is the terrorist.
well the illusive mr bin laden may have been anywhere... hope he didnt die, what would bush do without him? he'd have no excuse to kill innocent people anymore!!! (not that he has an excuse now)
That makes no sense. As OBL has not been spotted or captured.. He could have died a few years ago.... So it does not matter if he is alive or dead.... events are occuring with or with out him.
I think looking at this as OBL vs. the US is a gross oversimplification. I think history will look back on this as a period of religious war.
I hope not..that would give OBL some credance.. He may frame it in that way..but i don't think it is... Looking at it the way you describe i agree it is oversimplification..but OBL is keeping it relatively simple.. thereby not allowing the self rightious actions of himself to be truly questioned. Religeon of course plays a big part..but again behind all that is something a lot less religous.. mm maybe not power/control/dominance ..?.. i dunno.. I have heard it will be at least 20 years before history can write about this objectively.
No one individual has credence - I think you have to look to the Whabi Schools, which were facilitated by Saudi oil revenues to find the birth of the modern Islam side and to the fundamental christen movement that has seized power in the US.
No far from blaming the US, I see it as a clash between two religious revivals one originating in the US and one in SA. Each of which has no tolerance within it for "unbelievers". I think that is the underlying fact that is writing current history. We have OBL on one side who is driven by the worst of the Koran and George Bush on the other who has "God" telling him what to do.
its an insane little line... Everything has religion behind it, doesnt it? All i can say is they both (OBL & Bush) think that they are being true to their religion and country. well... We cant argue with 'God' now can we? So they must both be right!
OK fair enough - that one reference was probably taken out of context as you say. However, would you not admit that GB sees himself as coming from a born again christen worldview that labels anything else as evil.
