If It Is Bin Laden, He's A Very Intelligent Guy. He's Been Planning His War For A Long Time. I Remember The Last Time I Met Him In 1997 In Afghanistan. And Bin Laden Said To Me "from This Mountain, Mr. Robert, Upon Which You Are Sitting, We Beat The Russian Army And Helped Break The Soviet Union.

Why Is It That We Go To Immense Lengths Getting The Serbs Who Were Responsible For The Massacre Of 7,000 At Srbrenica-that's Slightly More Than The Total Figure For New York 9/11-and We Take Them To A Tribunal In The Hague, And One After Another, We Arraign Them, Try Them, Convict Them, And Punish Them In Front Of The World, But No Plans Have Been Brought Forward To Get Osama Bin Laden And His Friends And Put Them On Trial.

I've Never Seen A Single Demonstration In Pakistan, In The Streets Of Gaza, In The West Bank, In Which The People Have Come Out With Signs Saying, "please Give Us Better Roads. Please Give Us New Prenatal Clinics. Please Give Us A New Sewage System." I'm Sure They'd Like Those Things, But It's Not What They Demand In The Demonstrations. In The Demonstrations, They Talk About Justice, They Talk About An End To Israeli Occupation.
