Is it just me, or it somewhat strange for a "religious" movement to offer a truce with "the great Satan"???
According to all of the garbage that the Muslim fanatics have put out...once you get on the enemy list...you cannot be removed, and its a finsh to the end type of episode...so I'm wondering how Ossama can face his big fans and announce that he is ready for a peace treaty. The Muslim religion doesn't allow for that...you have to finish the job or die trying. so ethically, the guy just blinked a thousand times and told his followers that he can't never win. Makes you wonder just how much damage has really been done to his organization and how many friends of his no longer exist.
HAS BEEN LADEN asking for a truce makes me think of Monty
Python's "Holy Grail". Remember the knight who gets his arms and
legs cut off during a fight? Finally, refusing to quit or to die, the talking
torso says, "All Right. Let's call it a draw."
