1. Has he actually done anything yet, or shall we just assassinate him for thought crimes?

6. Have you read Isaac Asimov's Foundation series?
I'm guessing you haven't.

11. I'm guessing you haven't read it either, since you spelled his name wrong.
Found the link I was looking for.

17. The article is interesting. Your strident illogical thinking is not.
Anyway, I was under the impression that bin Laden didn't even call it "al-Qaeda" until after the US government started calling his organization that in the 90s

10. Lulz, you mean his series about predicting future with math called pyshcohistory?
Edited on Thu May-19-11 03:37 PM by DFab420
No never heard of it. But clearly this science fiction series totally supports your seemingly unfounded desire to not harm or judge the leader of a terrorist organization.


If you like using science fiction to support real life ideals, there is this series called Dyanetics, by the author L. something, it's a big hoot in hollywood right now.

7. Good point. I agree al-Qaeda would be conscientious enough to hire a guy with a clean record.
Did I spell conscientious right?

15. So what has he done that's worthy of extrajudicial assassination?
Honest question.

2. So if they have a new leader, will we be killing them next?
If so then, are you just going to kill their leaders every time they get a new leader. No trial, just whack them?

And

If not, then why aren't we going to kill their new leader? I thought we were going to be serious about terror.

8. And so is Seal Team 6 -- a Disney-registered trademark.
Hey, has Al Qaida thought of registering its name as a trademark -- and maybe selling it to Disney?

;-)
