!!!!

I'll add a nickel for each of these you can explain to me:

Charlie Brown's annual chronic embrace of failure each year around September regarding a football and Lucy.

Lucy's anger.

Linus' blanket

Linus' annual chronic expectation of the appearance of a pseudo-messiah in a pumpkin patch

Schroeder's determination

Peppermint Patty and Marcie's friendship.

Another parallel: Hitler idolized all things German, but his parents were both Austrian with some Czech thrown in.

Bin Laden claims to be fighting for the sacred soil, er., sand of Saudi Arabia, defiled by American footsteps, but his father was a Yemeni and his mother was a Syrian.

When was Clinton at Oxford? That's my question.

in regards to post 2.... Deja vu would be to put it MILDLY.... desxcribe Bin Laden THIS way and ASK someone who you JUST described... and 8 OUT OF 10 times I'd wager they'd say ADOLF HITLER!!!!

When was Clinton at Oxford? That's my question.

Clinton was at Oxford from 1968-1970

Osama Bin Laden was born circa 1957 and would have been around 12 years old at the time Clinton was at Oxford. -Tom

Also throw in Napoleon. Born of Italian heritage on Corsica he went on to rule France. Napoleon too was belittled and disdained by others around him when he was a boy. Other boys often picked on him. Let's see.... Nostradamus- 3 Anti-Christs - Napoleon, Hitler, Bin Laden? -All 3 apparantly built grudges from childhood and had great feelings of being an outsider.

Darn! It would have been interesting to see a pic of Osama bin Laden shaking the Great Bent One's hand (a la Clinton and JFK...).

Awad bin Laden had sex with a camel?

Bin Laden's Mother always felt inferior (like her son) amongst her husband's other wives:

Dunno whether the Saudi's are the biggest racists, but I sure hate them.

Don't give up the ghost just yet. Been Hidin' was at Oxford as an adolescent. I saw a picture of him and his older brother with 3 girls and he looked about 13. It is very possible that Been Hidin' and Klintoon were there at the same time.

It is interesting to note how often despots come from a different ethnic group than the one over which they exercise their despotism.

Alexander the Great: the Macedonian ruler of the Greeks.
Napoleon: the Corsican Emperor of the French.
Joseph Stalin: the Georgian tyrant of Soviet Russia.
Adolf Hitler: the Austrian dictator of Germany.

One could go on about the varying ethnicities of the royal houses of Europe...but the guiding principle of tyranny is to govern one's own people as if they were conquered subjects of a foreign enemy.

And the 19 hijackeres were all Saudi.

No, they weren't all Saudi. The lead hijacker was an Egyptian who was also a member of the Muslim Brotherhood. Ziad Jarrah, pilot of flight 93, was Lebanese. Al-Shehhi was from the UAE. Binalshibh was Yemeni.

Article says OBL studied English at Oxford in 1971 where he met the Spanish woman in whom he confided about his mother.
