Rather, the point seems to be that Bin Laden's lifestyle , whether one of luxury or that of an ascetic, is of no particular relevance to his crimes. This kind of sloppy thinking, ad hominem attacks and so on, gets us nowhere. Conversely, it is quite possible and legitimate to take on the administration for its misdeeds (I deliberately understate here) without purporting moral equivalency with Bin Laden.David Matthewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07612468957913655340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13574471.post-1156822213716108102006-08-28T23:30:00.000-04:002006-08-28T23:30:00.000-04:00bin laden is depraved, but not because he's living...bin laden is depraved, but not because he's living the high life. he's a stoic & a murdering wacko even by wahab standards. he'd kill you in a heartbeat, in your distain for gwb, try to stop short of purporting moral equivalency or you become a bin laden apologist by default. is that what you really want to be? remember how the natzis used ezra pound.blinded by hated you become the thing you claim to hate cockeled by your cleverness.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
