Osama can be real AND Western governments can be exploiting him for their own purposes. (Adam Curtis's 2004 documentary The Power of Nightmares — while not the final word on the War on Terror — has stood up remarkably well in demonstrating this symbiotic relationship. I'm always amazed at how he managed to "get it" so soon.)(BTW, "rock star status among 1.3 billion Muslims" might be overstating his following just a bit.) |
