I think it is only appropriate to check and re-evaluate one's position as new information arrives. Only those who are standing on ego would do otherwise. Those who disagree with another person's stated opinions should offer up facts and coherent arguments in an effort to provide information, rather than dismiss, condemn or attack - well, in a perfect world anyway.

Look at this, from CNN: Taliban leader: Prepare for holy war September 14, 2001 Posted: 5:52 PM EDT (2152 GMT) KABUL, Afghanistan (CNN) -- The leader of Afghanistan's ruling Taliban told his nation Friday to prepare for holy war amid concerns that the United States would target it for harboring Osama bin Laden. In a 17-minute radio address, Supreme Leader Mullah Mohammed Omar said the Afghan people should not be afraid and that he was not afraid of dying. Afghanistan had been invaded by great powers before, including Britain and Russia, and had withstood the assault, he said. "Now, the third empire of the world wants to impose an attack on us," he said. "As you know better, it is not because of Osama. *This is the demonization of Islam.*" The bold italics are mine. By calling it the "demonization of Islam", aren't they obliquely setting it up to be a war against The West/Christianity? Was interested in your thoughts, if you have time. T.
