50. You're making Bin Laden out to be a hero.
He's not a freedom fighter. You don't target a civilian building if you're a freedom fighter. I agree that our foreign policy has been exploitative and dangerous, and we worship the almighty dollar. However, if you're going to empathize with Osama and his ilk, you need to be prepared to take an emotional shot or two.

Praising Bin Laden is not the right thing to do. Understand why he does things, fine. Giving him any kind of whiff of sympathy is not ok.

I apologize for the "stealth freeper" comment. I shouln't have done that, and I won't do it again.
