Could Alzahiri(sp)/bin laden have a hand in Hizballuh Israel conflict?

No. The Hezbollah are Shia Muslims. Al-Quieda is Sunni. The Shia and the Sunnis do not play well together.

Didn't we hear something like that with bin Laden and Sadam? When there's a common enemy you have to wonder. They're both varying degrees of evil.

Thanks for the info.

You forget both of the first two rules of Islamic diplomacy:

1. The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
2. In any conflict between a Muslim and a non-Muslim, always side with the Muslim no matter how reprehensible he is, and no matter how innocent or even virtuous the non-Muslim is.

Then perhaps you can explain the ad for Al Qaeda the showed up with Al Zarawari's face on it, somewhere in Lebanon (I forget where) today?

Sunni's and Shia may not play well together but that doesn't mean that Al Qaeda and bin Laden can't do something to enable their getting along better.
