36. Are you joking...???
In my opinion, Osama bin Laden doesn't even begin to compare to Saddam and George W. Bush. Osama is fighting for a cause, and those his tactics may be no better than Bush's, his is a better cause.

"...his is a better cause"...????????

You think imposing ObL's radical version of Islam on the world is a "better cause?" Would you like to live in a world that was just like Afghanistan under the Taliban? Where women had to keep themselves covered in head-to-toe burquas, where music was banned, where men were stopped by security forces and punished if their beards weren't the required length? A world where the "Agency for the Promotion of Virtue and the Elimination of Vice" had dictatorial power?

Maybe you should move to one of those backwater villages in Afghanistan or Pakistan where the Taliban's version of Shariah still applies, and see if you think the imposition of such a society over the entire world is a "better cause?" For me, if the only choice, God forbid, was between living under the Taliban or living under the Republicans...I'd be starting up the George W. Bush Fan Club in record time!
