For added irony points, the actions of Western governments to eradicate such movements seems to have inspired such a unity of purpose that the fiction is now fact.
Exactly. I don't deny on any level that Osama is a terrorist faction leader, that he funds terrorism, that he sees American liberal society as a threat to his Islamic movement, or that he desired to attack America. However he was and is not the head of an international terrorist network, there were no sleeper cells in the United States, and as the military discovered in Afghanistan there was no secret network of cave compounds.
My point is that the Islamic Fundamentalists have never been coherently unified with Osama as their leader. Other than giving a recognizable label to all terrorists for people to follow the purpose in designating the Islamic Fundamentalists Al Qaeda with Osama as their leader was to be able to try the terrorists under laws created for organized crime. In the words of George Bush, "Al-Qaeda is to terrorism what the mafia is to crime".
The devision of the world into good and evil has been a tactic of the Neo-Conservatives since the Cold War. With the soviets "defeated" the Neocons needed a new international threat for Americans to be unified in fear against. One of the founding beliefs of the Neocons was that the Liberal society in America was destructive and simplified myths were needed to guide the people in right direction. In fact to a certain extent the Conservatives helped the terrorists along the way; if not for the billions in weapons and aid the Reagan administration sent to the Mujahidin they would never have pushed the Soviets out of Afghanistan and possibly not believed themselves to be powerful enough to strike against other Westernized nations in the middle east and around the world.
This is exactly why you should cultivate the habit of reading once in a while rather than sitting and watching Sopranos.
Truth be told I have never watched the Sopranos. The sources I read, unlike the Neo-Conservatives, the CIA, and the Bush administration, don't routinely fabricate evidence to push an agenda.
If I was Osama, I'd be laughing myself sick watching these clowns destroy that nasty, evil free society I hate so much. I couldn't do a better job with another hundred planes.
Perhaps if you were Osama and believed the mythology of the Neo-Conservatives. He provided funding and inspiration for the terrorists at an earlier date but was never directly involved in the 9/11 attacks. In fact his "multinational terrorist organization" Al-Qaeda did not exist until after the American government declared it did; in reality Osama has and has a small ineffective group of Islamic fundamentalist followers. This is a link to a BBC documentary, The Power of Nightmares that provides a more accurate depiction of the so called "War on Terror".

But where is the Vista action figure's wheelchair? Accessories are very important and he will need it to support his incredible bloat.
