They're all talking to each other... The American media can blither on vapidly however it chooses; Bin Ladin, the Taliban, the Iranian mullahs, and Saddam are all of one mind when it comes to America, and however much they bicker among themselves, they will act in concert when the opportunity comes to attack us.
The Arabs have a saying: "Me against my brother, me and my brother against my cousin, me, my brother and my cousin against the Infidel".
Personally, the Trade Center attack surprised me, because I've been expecting a nuclear attack with Pakistani-supplied nuclear arms, not something like this.
Yeah, Bin Ladin is going to deny it - what do you expect, that he'll *admit* it so he can make himself a target? He's not stupid, you know. He and the rest of them have specific political objectives: Make the U.S. lose its resolve to support Israel. For that, they don't need to claim credit for any of these attacks; all they have to do is make us suffer enough that we start questioning whether supporting Israel in the Middle East is worth the lives of tens of thousands of American urbanites.
This war that everyone has suddenly discovered that we're in, goes all the way back to the Crusades; maybe all the way back to the Babylonian Captivity. But it's become far more dangerous now that the orangutans have learned to use modern technology...
