>>"Bin Laden's strategy has always been to demonstrate to the Islamic community that the West, and especially the U.S., is starting a global war against Muslims," Judge Bruguière said. "An attack on Iraq might confirm this vision for many Muslims. I am very worried about the next wave of recruits."<< The weak point in this argument is that bin Laden is on record accusing the US of mistreating Iraqis vis-a-vis the sanctions. It's one of the things that pisses him off the worst -- all the Iraqi children that are dead because of sanctions -- whether you blame the US/Britain/UN for imposing the sanctions or Saddam, doesn't matter, they exist and they cause harm, and bin Laden is mad about it, and rages about it. We know this for a fact. We don't have to speculate.
