Po, it's a JOKE! It's satire. I love it. The serious part (as I took it, it must be said) was TLC's irritability (which i share) with the assholes who don't know there's a murderous Jihad on and it's against us, and the joke part was the FBI. (TLC can take exception if i'm wrong, but i won't believe him because he is a humorist. I mean, a real, and talented, one. It's what he is.)
Here's my contribution, although I was SO irritated that I've already posted it on the joke thread and kissy kissy. Still, I put it here for referral to the FBI's Special Agents In Charge Of Complete Idiots Who Know Nothing About Psychopathology Not To Mention About The Way The World Works Division:
In the current Village Voice, there is a collection of comments titled "War vs. peace, novelists and essays tell where they stand."
In a war on Afghanistan, Osama bin Laden will either be left alive, while thousands of frightened, impoverished people are bombed into oblivion around him, or he will be killed in a bombing attack for which he seems quite prepared. But what would happen to his cool armor if he could be reminded of all the good, nonviolent things he has done? Further, what would happen to him if he could be brought to understand the preciousness of the lives he has destroyed? I firmly believe the only punishment that works is love.
