The Debate Is Over

So Bin Laden has a new tape out. Changing course a bit, he used this chance to attack the EU, not to mention the Pope.

Apparently it's those drawings of Mohammed that got him mad. As he puts it:

You went overboard in your unbelief and freed yourselves of the etiquettes of dispute and fighting and went to the extent of publishing these insulting drawings. This is the greatest misfortune and the judgment for it will be stronger [....]If there is no check on the freedom of your words, then let your hearts be open to the freedom of our actions.

This is why I find it so strange that anti-war types get mad when we say they hate us for our freedom. In the past, Al Qaeda has made it clear that Democracy is evil. Now, we find out that, worse than killing and capturing his fighters by the thousands, not to mention all the "offense" caused by U.S. troops in the Middle East, nothing is worse than exercising basic freedom of speech.

PS I'm too speechless to even write about how Bin Laden is angry that we're not following the proper fighting etiquette.
