Except that, as every one *should* know, Bin Laden went to work
for those responsible for "a few hundred thousand dead Arabs" with
great enthusiasm, and he did so in a country whose inhabitants
numbered exactly *zero* Arabs.  His militant hatred was directed
at a country that had never killed any Arabs but that to his mind,
and that of his paymasters, was a force of social progress.  Does
anyone really think that a milieu of stupid obscurantism, on the
imperialists' payroll, can be anything but a culture medium for the
recruitment of CIA/Mossad provocateurs?  And does anyone really
think that the fascist core of the CIA and Mossad are too stupid
to take advantage of the idiotic fanaticism they themselves
have sponsored?  On the contrary--they are vastly more
intelligent than the Tsarist provocateurs depicted in Conrad's
"The Secret Agent."  One can restrict ones "Marxism" to
socioeconomic minutiae or to antiAmerican vituperation.  Or one
can recognize the fact that Osama bin Laden is to George Bush jr.
as Marinus van der Lubbe was to Adolf Hitler.
