I was talking not about a single town razed to the ground but quite a few times I saw tanks demolish entire buildings and the way the whole place looked "razed to the groun" when the Israeli tanks left. Either you don't know that you post false information, or you side with the terrorists. Which is it? Mr Barry, you need to read up a little on logical fallacies. This particular example is called False Dilemma, "A limited number of options (usually two) is given, while in reality there are more options. A false dilemma is an illegitimate use of the "or" operator. " intrepidsoftware.com And on that note, I am off for the weekend. A great weekend to all....

Bin Laden Blasts Clinton for Oval Office Sexcapades Friday Nov. 29, 2002; 11:35 a.m. EST In passages of Osama bin Laden's so-called "Letter to America" that were not initially translated into English when first made public two weeks ago, the al Qaeda terror chief says he was deeply offended by ex-President Bill Clinton's "immoral" Oval Office sexcapades. "Who can forget your President Clinton's immoral acts committed in the official Oval Office?," bin Laden complains in the 4,000 word message, first reported by Al-Jazeera TV's Yousri Fouda, in which the 9/11 mastermind also warns of further attacks against U.S. targets. A full translation of the six page letter attributed to bin Laden, which appeared in London's Observer newspaper this week, reveals that he was also irked that Clinton was not indicted by prosecutors for lying about his illicit affair with White House fellatrix Monica Lewinsky. "After that you did not even bring (Clinton) to account, other than that he 'made a mistake', after which everything passed with no punishment," bin Laden allegedly wrote. He then added, "Is there a worse kind of event for which your name will go down in history and (be) remembered by nations?" In his "Letter to America," bin Laden also complains about other aspects of what he describes as America's tendency towards "debauchery." "You are a nation that permits the production, trading and usage of intoxicants," he rails. "You also permit drugs, and only forbid the trade of them, even though your nation is the largest consumer of them." "You are a nation that permits acts of immorality, and you consider them to be pillars of personal freedom. You have continued to sink down this abyss from level to level until incest has spread amongst you, in the face of which neither your sense of honor nor your laws object." Bin Laden concludes that the U.S. is "the worst civilization witnessed by the history of mankind." worldtribune.com
