The Palestine conflict was third on his list behind the sanctions against Iraq (second) and the presence of American troops in Saudi Arabia (first). This last was the complaint he sounded most passionate about. Our presence is considered a defilement of holy territory" This is OSB's justification for his murder of thousands and nothing more. There is no conflict of civilizations here, no larger conflict at stake. Just a common mafia type criminal. In other words OSB should, along with his organization, be hunted down relentlessly and brought to justice. This leads to the following question: Why is all the focus on Saddam and not on OSB? Perhaps because strategists think that 20-30 years down the line the locals in the ME will want to control their resources and will try to take them from the corrupt regimes in the area.
