Take a good look at what Al Qaeda is doing, and at the words of bin Laden et
al which I'll collectively call "he"), and see if you don't find this
pattern: It's not simply to intimidate, it's to destroy. He doesn't have a
political or territorial objective, he has a religious and spiritual
objective, which is death -- glorious in the case of his fighters;
ignominious, so delightfully performed with a handsaw, in the case of his
victims. His method is not simply to slip behind the lines and raise havoc
for the sake of coercion. It's to terrorize in the purest sense, for its own
sake, to destroy the social and spiritual structure of the West


So, by killing fewer than gunsfire alone does in one year in the US,
he has already won, right?
Sure has those crazed neocons yammering & grabbing for unlimited
power ... it's not like ANY of them were in the military, right?

Don't support crazies, fundies or scared chicken-s*** wingers.
