This is not a "wag the dog", this is dead (intential) serious. Wag the dog? You are an utter cretin for even suggesting it. That no man should scruple, or hesitate a moment to use arms in defense of so valuable a blessing [as freedom], on which all the good and evil of life depends, is clearly my opinion; yet arms ... should be the last resource. - George Washington

Sadly, I think I've heard enough stories from my parents and grandparents to know the difference. I'd much rather limit our freedoms for the rest of my life than to kill every Arab in the world. I do believe that this was a desparate act by a few (hundred) really sick and desparate people who want us to start WW III. Glen Austin

Check out Doug Marker's brief bio of bin Ladin - linked above to Open? forum. bL has patience and more power than press slogans would suggest. Like Hitler: he indeed has a plan, strategy and will. It's about Fundamentalism - Theocracy over any other form of government. (In that, I believe we find the sole agreement among most organized religions: The Fundamentalists all want their beliefs to govern us all. Because they are Right and all others er - well, we know). Doug's may not be a complete bio, but several of the points accord with other sources I have seen in the past. Nemesis to US is about the exact word. A.
