There are those who believe fear is the shortest way to reputation and fame.
I am not one of them. But Joseph Conrad and Bin Laden make the same point: playing by the rules is for losers.

Joseph Conrad did not admire Kurtz, his character in the book. And if you’re saying you admire bin Laden for breaking rules, well, I guess you couldn’t make my case about your comments any better than that.
