Answer 2

I see the last two posters used information from Fahrenheit 9-11. I wouldn't use his left wing diatribe or analysis, just as I wouldn't use Cheney's or some other rightist nut as proof of anything that's going on.

Bin Laden hasn't been captured, because our political leaders blundered. Told by the CIA in late 2001 that if we closed the Afghan borders and brought in more troops at Tora Bora that we could get bin Laden, the Bushies actually refused and shifted troops away from Afghanistan. I'm not going to choose some conspiracy theory as a justification. History will come out with the truth, eventually.

Also we haven't caught bin Laden is Afghanistan or Pakistan because in the former, the government only has control of Kabul with the tribal leaders and Taliban controlling the countryside. It's unable to deliver on anything. And Pakistan's military president cannot be too hardcore against the terrorists due to his domestic policy concerns. His dealings with the Bush Administration have made him immensely unpopular in his own country and he must walk a fine line.

I, for one, don't think that getting bin Laden will make much difference. His insurgent movement is so massive and the U.S. has made so many fundamental mistakes - military, economic and cultural - that the movement against the West will go on, with or without bin Laden.

Military experts this week said military technology has just about run its course as a way of fighting terrorism. Now it must come down to changing U.S. policy so that it is more even handed toward moderate Muslims and more culturally sensitive. (For instance, we can't just keep letting the Israelis bomb its neighbors and ignore the fact that Palestinians are now going on the third generation in refugee camps in their own homeland. ) We can't bomb our way out of this problem. We could win all the tactical battles until doomsday but we will lose the strategic war if we continue the same tactics we're currently using.

Answer 3

Obviously something is 'very rotten in Denmark', what exactly is a bit elusive. The whole 9/11, Iraqi war thing is so complex that several conspiracies could be lurking in there somewhere! The 'excuses' used to invade Iraq have not held water, they say Osama is not a priority, N. Korea continues it's race to insanity and a dozen other countries around the world are out of control and yet.. we do nothing about them? Yes, something is definitely afoot and I believe the worst (as for our rights/ liberties) is yet to be revealed.

Answer 4

Come on . . . Please don't tell me you really don't get it.

I thought everybody was up to speed on this one.

Really, you're joking, aren't you?

Osama Bin Laden is one of a dozen or two kids of a wealthy Saud family whose family business is construction, and they're good buddies of the Bush family.

Listen, I'm not a Bush-basher. I like the guy, I think he's got good intentions, but has some weak spots.

But think about it . . . if you had a good friend who had one bad-apple son and you got elected president . . . can you imagine yourself genuinely hunting down and killing your good friend's son? I mean really.

I wouldn't either. Bin Laden may be public enemy #1, but he's got protected status (not officially, of course).

That's just the way it is.

Bin Laden won't be hunted down and killed. He won't be hunted down and captured either. As a matter of fact, he won't be hunted down at all. They'll make alot of conversation and blustery remarks about it, but Osama Bin Laden is safe as a cow in india.

There's only one way he'd be safer.

If a Democrat gets into office in 2008.

Answer 5

they do say bush is a family friend of bin ladens family they mention that on farenheit 9/11, but supposedly the family disowned him and he doesn't have any of their fortune, but i'm with u they found saddam who has more money, power, and people, if they found him how come they can't find bin laden? If u ask me maybe they're just not looking and maybe they don't want to who knows?

Answer 6

Go to college. Get a political science or history degree.

This is a massively complicated question with a much more complicated answer than "it's a big conspiracy." That thinking is the easy way out for people who are unintelligent.

The fact of the matter is any old terrorist can film Bin Laden, pass a video off to someone who passes it off to someone who passes it off to someone, who passes it off to somone ad infinitum. It's not like Osama puts it in the mail.

Answer 7

Well at least you're sharp enough to suspect something's shady about this seemingly contrived mess we're involved in. Better minds than ours are working on some things, but it's not safe to talk openly about it. There are indeed forces at work that we're not privy to, but then there have always been titular leaders and real leaders (not nessesarily one and the same) and only the most elevated of men populate that closed circle (ask Jimmy Carter.)
The devolution of "civilized" society is an unpreventable certainty that's part of a natural cycle quite beyond human control. There's nothing new about it, it is timeless and repetitive. Our arrogance (and ignorance) causes us to believe that we in the present are the epitome of some line of mankind only a few thousand years old, conveniently ignoring all the evidence to the contrary. We accept that the pyramids were built as tombs using human muscles, by the ancestors of the present day Arabs. That's beneath ridicule. They were neither built by human physical labor, nor were they ever "tombs". We at present know nothing of any of the natural forces harnessed by mankind in the ages before ours. We mistakenly believe we do, but ask our most learned genius what ANY force is and see what he tells you. Almost any child can tell you what electricity does, but not one human can tell you what it is. We all know what a magnet can do, but do any of us know what it is. We know what the effects of gravity are, but do we know what it is. We know what causes it to manifest, but we have not the faintest of clues what it is. This seems a roundabout answer to the why's of terrorism, but the point is we have become too "educated" too "civilized" too " humane" to control our violent predators, and they have now become too numerous and emboldened to accept a society based on laws not favorable to their brutal nature. We have the means to rid ourselves of them, but our "humanity" prevents a preemptive action, so we must wait until they take an action so terrible it brings us out of our paralysis, then retaliate so massively that civilzation as we know it will be unlikely to survive. This is not a thesis for a sci-fi novel, most of us will live to see terrible times, we have no leaders, and we give scant notice to the few men who have the courage to take unpopular actions for the sake of mans betterment (such as Mike Gorbechev.) Terrorism is not only a fact of the times, it is set to become a fire out of control in the absense of any real action to stop it. No such action is liable to happen under our timid leaders constrained by failed social theory and political correctness, and is even less likely under the coming Democratic administration. A wise man once said "if you're happy, you don't know what's going on". That's a timeless truth, and very relevant to the present.

Answer 8

I myself don't understand why these people can't be found. It is very frustrating. With all the technology we have, you'd think it could be done. I really don't understand alot of the crap that's going on these days.

Answer 9

Kalashnikov.
