BMW, Re : "Apparently, these words are so masterfully spun that they are causing some Americans to question our beliefs."

True. He's playing with words to manipulate us. But be sure to keep your thinking hat on all the time. Saddam Hussain masterfully manipulates his people. Israeli leaders to the same and our leader so the same with us. Doesn't justify sept 11 attacks and he should be absolutely condemned for it.

Re : "Madmen don't rise to power by being fools. Hitler is a great example of a military genius that was able to fool the generally good hearted German citizens into committing devastating hate crimes."

The question is not whether Hitler or Saddam or OBL manipulate their people. The question I ask myself is why would good-hearted, intelligent Germans or a reasonably large population in the mideast get 'fooled' by these manipulator ? Is it because they are stupid, or it is because they have been pushed to such a hopeless situation for so long they they are even willing to listen to Hitlers and OBLs ? Whey isn't every single individual in this world coming out and denouncing such cowardly act of sept 11 ? Is it because they are just jealous of our prosperity ? Is it because they are all evil fanatics ? What OBL says in his tape has a clue to that.

I sure hope we all condemn what happened on Sept 11. And, I also hope we are as vocal when Israelis attack Palestianians (and vice versa), when Iraq attacks Kuwait or when US sanctions is (at least partially) responsible for 500,000 Iraqi civilian deaths. Make sure you show no preferential treatment when our leaders try to manipulate us.
