I don't think OBL gives a brass patootie for Palestine or Iraq. If he did, he wouldn't have been a U.S. collaborator in the past. He wants to install clerical fascist (or, if you want to get technical, rightist) regimes in SA and elsewhere. What did he say, if anything, when Iraq invaded Kuwait?

The history of Arab elites is one of selling out the Palestinians. OBL is no different. Assuming he was even thinking in this direction, what is a logical hypothesis as to the position of Palestine after a WTC attack, with Ariel Sharon heading the Israeli govt?

All the negative features of U.S. foreign policy are irrelevant to OBL's thinking, except insofar as he draws general popular support from anti-us feeling, the latter of which is well founded to some extent for the reasons you note.

CB: Do you really deny that Sept. 11 was a retaliation for U.S. mass murder against Iraq and Israeli mass murder against the Palestinians ? Do you really deny that the U.S. has a fascistic foreign policy ? Even the attacks on Iraq were in defense of Saudi Arabia with its retrograde fascist worldview.
