Thanks, c2. Another great quote from this essay, remarking on OBL's addition of East Timor to his list of grievances. You would have to have read very carefully to notice this in most of the press, as it was carefully buried below the fold or on inside pages: Meanwhile, the whining twerp on that I Can't Believe It's Not Osama audio cassette has expanded the Islamists' list of grievances to include not only the Mongol sack of Baghdad in 1258 -- I forget where Canada stood on that: it was OK as long as the Mongols were part of a multilateral pillage force? -- but also the West's support for East Timor's independence. East Timor! The left's pet cause of the late Nineties! And yet it turns out to be just another "root cause" like Yankee imperialism and Zionist occupation. Will it cause any of the West's self-loathers to question their support for the Islamists? Don't hold your breath. nationalpost.com{8597AAF2-8CD3-42B6-9976-598BEBBBF4CE}
