On CNN this morning, Mullah Omar (or whatever the F his name is) said that Al Qaeda might call off the Jihad if GW becomes a Muslim. Dammit, I woke my wife by laughing so hard!
“Wait, the Cabinet meeting is delayed while I face east and pray.”

I think that the latest ovations (unrelated to this thread) signal that Osama wishes he had not attacked “the great satan.”
I do agree that we do not have a firm understanding of the muslim culture. I don’t think that having a better understanding would hurt. After all “know thy enemy.”
In fact, a better understanding in the future may even help avoid wars. However, I have no idea how understanding that mad man (Osama) would have helped us avoid the tragedy of 9/11.

It wouldn’t have. There is lack of understanding and miscommunication on both sides. But we have a basic idea of why they hate us. And we’re not going to change for them any time soon. So, the problem will continue
