Bin Laden's October surprise

Quotes:

Osama bin Laden did not put forward a detailed political programme - but he did outline his strategy. He is a not an irrational fanatic. ...he revealed himself to be a thoughtful operator as well as a dedicated fighter.

That´s the thing which seem to be hard to swallow to many people. They want to see bin Laden either as a raving madman or as a comical character. Pretty much like I want to see Bush. But the fact is that where Bush is a comical character - which doesn´t make him any less dangerous, like it wouldn´t make bin Laden either - Osama bin Laden isn´t. But anyone who knows something about the human history will know that you don´t have to be nutcase to kill huge numbers of human beings, for a greater cause. Osama bin Laden does it, Ariel Sharon does it, Saddam Hussein did it, and George W. Bush and Tony Blair do it. And John Kerry will do it if he gets elected.
