Ahh yes, the old "lefty apologist" angle.
The guy confesses to a crime, tells us his motivation, and you say "nope, that's not why, he hates our freedoms and if you disagree with that, you think he's great and what he does is good".
I love that one.

They're streaming out of the woodwork now....
Yes, the Nazis and Communists (ok...not all) admitted their crime which to them wasn't a crime. Documented it and their reasons. Would you say they loved our freedoms? Yet somehow this guy gets away without your vitrol..all saved up for Bush.
Bin Hind'n Laden
This is a man who has more money than all of the Peoples Republic of Saskatchewan. He bankrolled the Taleban and their ruler(s). You saw what kind of country he likes. Or was that what you liked? He is part of the Wahabi Sunni Sect. Wahibism does NOT see any other religion but their own strict codes as legit. As a matter of fact they look to eradicate any others by any means. Try Christianity or Shi'ism in Saudi Arabia or Falujeh!
This man is a murderer. His BS excuses should hardly be given a moments notice other than to remind us that there is garbage out there like him. If really alive he will face justice someday. It is time to stop making excuses or apologies for this guy or his ilk. All criminals try to excuse their crimes. Hardly make is ok. Except for the now very pathetic Lefty-apologists like Claeren.

I think there's a difference between making excuses for someone, and just recognizing that there are always two sides to a story.
I want to see the guy captured, and I actually said that after it was determined that he was behind 9/11, the US may have the first televised execution ever (which I would watch as I'm a morbid SOB).
What I think most people are pointing out is that you hate him because you saw him blow up your buildings and kill your people. He hates the US for the same reason. He saw the US blow up his buildings (pre-9/11) and kill his people... the hatred you feel for him is probably equal to the hatred he feels for Americans.
Should people feel bad for him for this, and saw "awww, I guess we're even now, so we'll just let you go"? Nope. But people (esp. Americans) should really think long and hard about how they are and realize that as much as they'd like it to be true, their beliefs and values are not universal. It is an incredibly tough job for the US to do that, as being the only superpower, they are in a damned if they do, damned if they don't situation, but thinking that it's okay to just walk into countries to install "American Freedom" isn't a very productive way of encouraging people of the world to like and respect them.
