Reply #7: So is George Bush and he's a world leader. [View All]

The Pope is a world leader, as was Ghandi. The warlords in Afganistan, unfotunately, are also world leaders. Some authors and other "private individuals" have also risen to the level of world leader. Many of them are religious leaders in the Mideast.

Yes, Abu was a world leader. He was the head of an important and dangerous group with a lot of influance in that region. Having his death under cicumstances which cannot be independantly verified is not a good thing. The fact that he die in our custody makes it even worse.

It is incredibly stupid of the US to let ourselves, once again, to be put in a position where our enemies can legitimately question our actions and motives. It isn'tlike we have a boat load of credit as it is.

Don't be intentionally dense and myopic simply becasue you emotionally feel this is a good thing. We got into Iraq because of that sort of insanity.
