In the paragraphs below, I do not mean to imply you think we should be making a deal with Al Qaeda, only asking you to play devil's advocate of what such a negotiation might look like. So you are the State Dept. here.
If you could get down to the bargaining table with bin Laden and Al Qaeda, what are the terms of the bargain you are willing to strike?
I'll give you bin Laden's opening position: I want you (the U.S.) to completely end support for the Royal Assholes in Saudi-Land. I also want you to completely end support for the State of Israel and to stand back if we decide to destroy it. I want you to completely withdraw from the Persian Gulf and the Arabian Peninsula. And I want you to remove any support of Egypt and Pakistan and remove any troops and all other support in Uzbekistan and Tajikistan and end any agreements you have with those countries. Also, do not even think about supporting India in Kashmir.
In addition, I want you to stop sending you TV signals to Muslim youth corrupting their values. I want your multinational companies out of Muslim lands. I want your Christian missionaries out of Muslim lands. In short, I want all your influence in Muslim lands closed down.
Accept this, and we shall have peace in our times. Whaddya say?
