Do you think that the French --who, btw, helped Masood and the Russians in the 911 terrorist plot-- I have seen your posts over the last several weeks and I have found you very difficult to believe or understand. But I like many Americans am generally open minded. Many have argued that the USA has deserved the 9/11 attacks because of our past actions in the world. I hear that message and am daily praying for forgiveness for my country for so much sin over it's history. But our sin does not merit the atrocious act of war against innocent civilians perpetrated on 9/11. And it does not preclude our duty to defend ourselves. That argument I hear so many use is just someone using a portion of (very hard) truth to cloak their position against my country in false righteousness. And even though the US has done bad things in it's past... some of the things I hear are not true. I strive to listen to the views of those who disagree with me. I feel that I might learn from them. I feel that they may help me see errors in my beliefs. And sometimes they may strengthen my resolve. You are the last kind. You are also completely BONKERS. The concept that it was the jews and the French and Russians who did the thing on 9/11 is completely crazy. You might be able to argue that it was not OBL (even though after his recent taped address I have very little doubt left). But instead you are basically choosing to agree with him in total and I judge your comments with the same discernment as I judge his. You are mistaken about what you believe Gustave. By the way... it will be of no use to spout a bunch of bullshit in response to my post. I cannot hear you anymore. regards, cAPSLOCK

Pro-Bin Laden riots in Gaza turn violent Special to World Tribune.com MIDDLE EAST NEWSLINE Monday, October 8, 2001 GAZA — The Palestinian Authority has been rocked by bloody student demonstrations in support of Saudi fugitive Osama Bin Laden. Demonstrations in support of Bin Laden were reported in many areas of the Gaza Strip on Monday. Two people were killed during attempts by PA police to disperse the demonstrators. The bloodiest protests came in Gaza City. Hundreds of university students, including armed members of the Islamic opposition, clashed with police. At least two civilians were killed and a dozen wounded. Police sources said Islamic gunmen opened fire on officers outside Al Azhar University and the Islamic University in Gaza City. Islamic sources countered that police opened fire when they failed to disperse the demonstrators with tear gas. PA authorities then ordered the closure of universities in the West Bank and Gaza Strip. Authorities also banned any television news coverage of pro-Bin Laden demonstrations. The PA has refused to adopt a position on the U.S.-led military offensive on Afghanistan. PA Information Minister Yasser Abbed Rabbo said officials first wanted to determine the position of the Arab League. worldtribune.com
