Re: andrewsullivan.com I completely agree with ridiculing OBL though I would caution that care is taken not to stray into cartooning Arab-centric bias pictorially. Better to make OBL the Buffoon-in-Chief. Not only does it provide comic relief, but puts him into perspective, as he is rightfully a gnat, and it may enrage him and his stooges. I agree that Bush is straying from the message of "this ain't no religious war" when he ends with "Gol bless Humerika"... he is shoring up his Right base (plus the greyhairs) by doing so, but surrenders the propaganda war to the enemy that wants to make it a religious war, the better to recruit with. We need wise leadership, not savvy politics. As for the Arab coalition and a future clash, economic development for the non-fundamentalists is the best way to further isolate the extremist minority. When the clash comes, it will not pose the threart it does today.
