What makes Bin Laden tick?

As the character played by John Huston, said in Chinatown, “Politicians, ugly buildings and whores all get respectable if they last long enough.” Beware, so do terrorists! The world just witnessed the burial of one reconstructed murderer in Ramallah, and if we are not careful, we might reconstruct another. It is high time to put Bin Laden in perspective. Islam is not his prime motivation.

Perhaps too much ink has been spilled trying to expose Osama bin Laden to a Western audience. As many writers have thoughtfully argued, we have created the myth of Bin Laden through all our media attention. But while we know a great deal about this murderer, no one, until recently, has explained what makes him “tick.” Why has he intentionally sought to become a global outlaw? The reasons are perhaps not what you would think.

While some writers find that his early life does not fit into the stereotypical biographical or psychological profile of an international terrorist, it does resemble that of many infamous terrorists and notorious criminal figures. We need only remember “Carlos the Jackal,” Venezuelan-born Ilich Ramírez Sánchez, a “little rich kid” who also found a thrill in murder.

This is way better than anything you are ever going to see in the lamestream media, this is the real scoop on the mentality of Osama bin Laden. The colonel, who really knows his stuff, says the guy most resembles Carlos the Jackal who is Hugo Chavez's hero. Chavez has written the jailed freak actual love letters. Anyway, Bin Laden is a spoiled little rich kid who's gotten a taste for killing. He's the scum of the earth.

What makes him tick? A bomb attached to his wretched body.
