Did anyone ever think .. wot's his name.. Osama was not an intelligent man who has witnessed plenty first hand? :-)
Sure, there is no way I can support his 9/11 activity, but no question there are many serious problems underlying those actions and which some nations, even now, remain in a state of denial over.
The US govt know (or I sure as hell hope they know!!) exactly what has happened to cultivate Osama's "terrorism". After all, they were the major beneficaries of much and Osama is well known to them as a friend in the past.
They also may have taken the time to translate his statement - perhaps even understand it.
I remember, a short time after 9/11, speaking with an US intell person. It gave a clue that there was actually some more rational people left in the US :-)
Not that it was likely to happen, but this person really wanted to do an informal "interrogation" of Osama - a casual chat, treat the man with respect, and try and hear what he was really like and understand why he thought it a good idea to blow people up.
Understanding and educating on the way of others is at least a first step to some peaceful times and not a load of simplistic, "us", "them", "crap countries", "bring em on" and "evil people" stuff.
Last point - can anyone ever name one terrorist organization in the history of this world where the resolution ever came from anything other than peaceful negotiation at the end of the day?
History has much to offer to a few people yet :-)
