Hi Greg,

<how they apply them in the real world is what's important. >

That is the problem. Because many of the things bin Laden says are true, we can only fault him for his conclusions. Most Americans say it okay to collaterally (or carelessly) kill civilians in order to achieve our military objectives. Hiroshima and Nagasaki were even more extreme cases of targeting civilians. From OBL's POV, this is the same thing. Hard to dissect it in such a way as to show the differences in clear and unambiguous ways.
