"It's as if bin Laden knew exactly what the US wanted to do and kindly obliged and furnished a reason by doing some terrorism."

It's the difference between the power brokers and the pawns. I do find your point about the US/Saudi connection to be worth noting. Perhaps the US needs to use the Saudis until a better arrangement is found. But it could be more sinister than that I admit.

Please keep in mind that many Americans, perhaps 40%, wish the US to keep out of these things as much as possible and probably another 20% think the UN at least needs to tag along. It's too bad that most Americans are viewed so negatively because of what our leaders do and our Hollywood produces.

Now that missing French marksman is rumored to be of Yugoslav origin. Payback for US bombing?
