This fruity puke here wants to make a career out of his father's misdeeds.

But enough about our president.   grin

Inane strawmen and bloodlust aside, I don't get the career argument - he's a bin Laden. Wealthier, by birth, than all of us put together. He doesn't need to dream up a 'diplomatic career' (oh, how well those pay - that's how you get rich in this world, go into foreign services!) - he could, if he wished, live off the interest of his piece of the pie, or go to work for Grandpa building half the Middle East.


So, you're advocating that the wealthy go back to being the idle parasites that they used to be?  laugh

Yes, politically we probably cannot justify killing him, at least not yet. But, I sometimes indulge myself in dreaming of a world purified of all scumbags, and perhaps let my youthful idealism take the better of my judgment in this case.

I dream of a civilized world, where it takes a whole lot more to justify killing someone than just having a criminal dad or unpopular ideas.

What's striking about this comment is that it seems to square with the senior Bin Laden's world view much, much more than the son you wish to have killed.  This is probably how the terrorist bin laden sees the world: "Oh, if I could just kill everyone I need to, the world would be great....so I'll start at it by any and all means necessary." 
"Human existence being an hallucination containing in itself the secondary hallucinations of day and night (the latter an insanitary condition of the atmosphere due to accretions of black air) it ill becomes any man of sense to be concerned at the illusory approach of the supreme hallucination known as death."

The 26-year-old does not renounce his father, al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden, but in an interview with The Associated Press, he said there is better way to defend Islam than militancy: Omar wants to be an "ambassador for peace" between Muslims and the West.

Yes, because choosing not to denounce evil, but treating it as a relative point on an infinite scale of actions, is the modern socialist Western way.  Does he have a UN posting yet?

He did go through the Al Queda training camps did he not? I don't think too many would have complained if we had wiped out a terrorist training camp with him in it would they?

He'll probably end a Nobel winner.

Personally, I do not understand how a bunch of people demanding a bigger govt can call themselves anarchist.
I meet lots of folks like this, claim to be anarchist but really they're just liberals with pierced genitals. - gunsmith

I agree with you.  Perhaps it is my Christian upbringing but I dont think we should kill someone because of their relations.  Otherwise there would be a lot of dead people.  Hell... 'Lil Baby Jesus would have reigned hellfire on a lot of bad people in the USA alone simply because they owned slaves and murdered indians.

Politicians and bureaucrats are considered productive if they swarm the populace like a plague of locust, devouring all substance in their path and leaving a swath of destruction like a firestorm. The technical term is "bipartisanship".

He accompanied his father as a minor and left at the age of 18. Was there some other option? When you were 12, did you tell your father where you wished to live?

In an interview with CNN, he flatly denied his daddy is a terrorist.   cheesy
