Unfortunately, Osama bin Laden puts his finger on the other longstanding injustices in the Arab world: the conying so. And, tinued occupation of Palestinian land by the Israelis; the enormous, constant Arab anger with the tens of thousands of Iraqi children who are dying under sanctions; the feelings of humiliation of millions of Arabs living under petty dictators, almost all of whom are propped up by the West.

It is always an eerie experience to sit among Bashar al-Assad's soldiers.

At the end of the day, bin Laden's interest is not Washington and New York, it's the Middle East. He wants Saudi Arabia. He wants to get rid of the House of Saud.

When I saw the pictures of New York without the World Trade Center, New York looked like a shadow of itself.

I was very struck by the fact that Colin Powell said he would produce evidence and then never produced it. Then Tony Blair produced a document of seventy paragraphs, but only the last nine referred to the World Trade Center, and they were not convincing. So we have a little problem here: If they're guilty, where is the evidence? And if we can't hear the evidence, why are we going to war?

Everyone outside the Roman Empire was called a barbarian. Everyone outside Obama’s empire is called a terrorist.

The Syrian army is tired of corruption. It is tired of party nepotism. It is becoming very angry with those it blames for the war.
