The Times had another feature on it today (did you bother reading the entire article from yesterday or do you have your mind made up?) What they found, and of course I take what the Times says with a little, okay a lot of, salt, what they found is that Osama bin Laden and his lieutenants were fantastic organizers. They were bringing together different groups from all over. Only if the left had some guys like that. The big mistake was to underestimate and piss off the lone superpower. Otherwise, who knows, maybe they could have beaten the Northern Alliance and taken over Pakistan from within and then go and nuke India or somebody. One of the many pieces of evidence that supports the standard theory, is that the NA's leader was assassinated a day or two before 911. Coinkidink? Possibly.

Ah yes, they won a battle against civilians and then were wiped from the face of the Earth. So much for the war on the infidels. And the Bush admistration now seems to be implying that if another 911 occurs, the hapless country that was "harboring" the terrorist group responsible will get mini-nuked.
