Osama bin Laden issued ominous new threats in an audiotape broadcast Sunday, saying the West was at war with Islam and calling on his followers to go to Sudan to fight a proposed U.N. force.This isn't quite the usual image we get of Bin Laden. Consider the photo that accompanies the story:
There is something in the leftist mind that views this kind of picture and grows a little wistful. Sure, Bin Laden is a bad guy, and if we were in power he would be captured by now, but look at that pious Madrassa bochur expression on his face. Surely he is just a gentle religious scholar who was somehow fated to fight the Big Satan and the Little Satan. Surely we did something to get into this mess. Perhaps there was some international conference and the Saudi Ambassador was seated next to the Israeli Ambassador by mistake. Oh well, here is Bin Laden calling on his followers to help make the genocide go more smoothly. Isn't he quite the large truckload of Yak droppings--despite the nice publicity photos?
