Bin laden has made it very clear that three things bug him-
1. US support for Israel.
2. US troops in saudi Arabia.
3. US sanctions against Iraq.
Yet some people insist on playing amateur psychoanalyst and claiming that his motivation is something else. Go figure.

So close, but so "no cigar".

The problem is not that we don't know what bugs the bastard. The problem is that there are those who would have us accept the lie that the way to deal with the bastard is to stop doing what bugs him.

The way to deal with a bastard like bint Ladin is to kill him, and to kill everyone who takes up the standard for him, and to keep killing them until they're no longer a threat.

The idea that we need to appease the bastard (and make no mistake, that's exactly what the "we need to find out what bugs him and then stop doing it" mantra boils down to) is nothing more than a way to encourage the bastard to push us even further.

If we stop doing the "three things that bug him" today, he'll come up with ten new things that bug him tomorrow, because he'll know he's got us trained to do his bidding. You don't appease a bully -- not unless you enjoy being bullied, of course.

Yes, if our country doesn't deserve to be attacked by the bastard -- and we don't -- then the only fault of our country and it's forereign policy is that we didn't appease the bastard enough. That is the argument that some here on this thread make.

Bravo, sir! The "madrussian" and "The Spanish Inquisition" type loons can just lump it.

Bullshit. I have never seen anyone here saying that bin Laden and terrorists deserve anything but death.
