No. I do agree with one thing Bin Laden said on that infamous video tape,
people in the mid-east want to bet on the strong horse not the weak one.
Lots of people, yourself included , were predicting that the Arab street would
erupt in outrage if America bombed Afghanistan, we were already seeing
huge demonstrations supporting Bin Laden, people were naming their
children after him for heaven's sake. But all that stopped very abruptly,
it stopped the second it became obvious that America was going to win.
It's amazing how well a 15,000 pound fuel air bomb can win over the hearts
and minds of people.

Unlike that deep, intelligent, benevolent, fun loving culture called The Taliban.
