The Syrian Army Is Tired

Individuals In Various Countries Like Egypt And Saudi Arabia Listen To The Tapes Of Bin Laden. They Gather In Groups Of Four Or Five. They Feel They Want To Do Something To Express Their Support For What They've Heard. The Idea That They Were Taking Orders Is A Particularly Western Idea.

At The End Of The Day, Osama Bin Laden's Interest Is Not Washington And New York, It's The Middle East. He Wants Saudi Arabia. He Wants To Get Rid Of The House Of Saud. There's A Great Deal Of Resentment, Even Inside The Royal Family, At The Continued Military Presence Of The United States There.

And I Think, In The End, That Is The Best Definition Of Journalism I Have Heard; To Challenge Authority - All Authority - Especially So When Governments And Politicians Take Us To War, When They Have Decided That They Will Kill And Others Will Die.

And It's True, You Hear Things In Damascus And, After A Few Hours, The Human Double-take Stops Operating.

Bin Laden Was Constantly Revolving In His Mind The Fact That He Had Got Rid Of The Russians; Therefore, The Americans Can Be Got Rid Of, Too. And Where Better Than In The Country Where He Knows How To Fight?
