Did the American people not read the transcript from Osama the other day? I know that most of the conservative media was telling people to just blow it off. The message is very simple and it comes from the mouth of their supposed leader and he is telling you why Al-Queda is attacking us. Ironically, in their minds it is justified — just as we justify our killing. So who is more moral — the attacker or the one that seems revenge? If you believe in "an eye for an eye" then are we taking an eye because they took ours or are we taking their second eye because of their revenge upon us?

Osama Quote:

"I am surprised by you. Despite entering the fourth year after Sept. 11, Bush is still deceiving you and hiding the truth from you and therefore the reasons are still there to repeat what happened."

Bin Laden stated the motives of his cause: U.S. support for Israel's oppression of the Palestinians, and Israel's 1982 attack on Lebanon. He bemoaned the killing of Iraqi children, and accused Bush of removing Saddam Hussein from power for the purpose of stealing Iraq's oil. Bin Laden drew an analogy between Bush's regime and the corrupt Arab regimes, recalling the first President Bush's cozy relationship with the Saudi royal family.

Finally, Bin Laden said our security is not in the hands of Kerry or Bush or Al Qaeda. "Your security is in your own hands," he said. "Any nation that does not attack us will not be attacked." Bin Laden told us how to avoid another attack: Lay off my people. Not mindful of the wise old adage, "know thy enemy," however, Bush responded by saying we "will not be intimidated or influenced by an enemy of our country."

Appealing to the American people instead of the U.S. government, Bin Laden challenged Americans to challenge the policies that oppress people in the Muslim world. The Spaniards accepted a similar challenge, when, days after suspected Al Qaeda followers blew up commuter trains in Madrid, the people in Spain went to the polls and unseated the leaders who had taken their troops into Iraq. The newly elected government pulled the Spanish soldiers out of Iraq shortly thereafter.

I mean, how do you still spin it when the guy tells you straight up what the problem is? How do we justify being a moral society when we clearly have blood on our hands. There are 100,000 dead Iraqis, thousands of families destroyed in the name of securing the American people. Moral? I think not.
