I Haven't seen the Bin Laden Tape

But it makes me think a couple things. 1) He's alive and not captured, being hid by Bush people. 2) American's don't seem to allow BL to have any influence on our decision making process - with respect to voting.

This part 2 is both a good and bad thing, I think. It's good because why let that fucker have any influence over us - and I applaud liberals and conservatives both for not letting him have sway over how they will vote. The bad element is that maybe we ought be listening to Bin Laden a little more - maybe he has a point about our foreign policy and is why he is so popular, despite having a pretty backwards and stupid way of looking at the modern world. Bin Laden's only consistant ally has been the hatred of American foreign policy, which resonanates with the muslim world.
