18. Of course not. I'm making the simple point that we don't even know if
that guy is alive. And that it's pretty damn convenient to pin everything on a phantom. I would think that there are plenty of other players in the mayhem called Iraq that might have had a hand in something like this.

Having just one big bad boogey man named Zaqahiri makes it so convenient for the bush* administration. They have this one big bad dude that's responsible for all of the killings. And if only one guy is responsible, well then hell, the Iraqi on the street isn't fighting us, just the followers of this invisible man. So they can imply that it's only the followers of this one 'evil doer' that we have to contend with, not maybe tens of thousands of Iraqis who just might object that we bombed their country, killed their families, destroyed their infrastructure, all so george could help out his friends.

It's like when you catch a little kid at something, what do they ususally say? (Insert name here) made me do it. Put the blame where it belongs. If the Iraqis wanted us there, there wouldn't be so much killing and chaos. bush* and his incompetent cabal screwed up big time, that's what the problem really is.

And truthfully, I don't really think I believe that the death in destruction is all the work of one man.

You insulted me by asking if I was a Zaqahiri apologist. I had a question for you, but I'm sure my ass would be banned if I asked it.
