“Osama bin Laden may be history’s greatest military strategist. He made Washington abandon its lofty moral ideals, forced the United States into a sea of debt and played a key role in pushing the United States off its pedestal of being the world’s supreme economic power.”

That is a bunch of baloney.

There is balance to everything in life, tyranny and freedom,
good and evil and so forth.

When Russia fell that balance was thrown off kilter, so I think this there is something to this article, after a fashion.

Communism brought misery and suffering to the world for about seventy years (now only paid lip service in China by the power elites).

Islam has beeing doing the same and worse for more than fourteen hundred years. Empowered by ill-gotten oil money, it’s far more dangerous than before.

Yes, it is sort of hokey to pine for the defunct USSR and to suggest that adversity alone is what builds the American character.

Kind of dumb, really. Wonder what this Russian immigrant thinks of the `New Russia’ under Vladimir “KGB” Putin?

Really. You have to wonder what some of these people are smoking to come up with conclusions like that one. Osama “forced the U.S. into debt?” Really? I think he meant OBAMA. And despite our problems, last I looked China was the economic equivalent of . . . CALIFORNIA, with all its troubles.
