>>yet, Nation of Islam's leader Louis Farrakhan has already distanced himself from the US's official line branding OBL as an arch-terrorist...<< Big deal, look at his history. I would not use Farrakhan as an example of mainstream American sentiment. If you read the editorial columns of most U.S. newspapers, you will see OBL condemned left and right. Not being resident in the U.S., I would not expect you to know the "man on the street sentiment". Basically, many American company's have e-mails circulating with strong hawk sentiments.

By making it possible for him to strike a courageous pose of standing up to the U.S. pressure, we help Sharon solidify his hard right, cool the dissension on his soft left and increase his popularity among embattled Israelis in the center. At the same time, columnists of my ilk are sent word that -- Colin's ostensible tilt toward Arafat to the contrary -- the President's hawkish heart is still in the right place. All this diplomacy by deflection is too clever by three-quarters. Just as corrupt Arab potentates try to protect themselves from the fury of their downtrodden subjects by fanning hatred of the United States and the West, we are trying, through our charade of selective anti-terrorism, to deflect that hatred over to Israel exclusively. (Don't blame us, it goes -- see how we're pressuring the Jews on your behalf?) Such buck-passing won't work. With logic, followers of timesunion.com
