An update to this posting: My ‘colleague’ Mary*Ann has supplied a link to a letter posted in The Observer. The letter was written by Osama bin Ladin. You know Osama. He’s the man whose death, if we can ever bring it about, will instantaneously end the War on Terror.
One thing I like about this letter is that it answered the question, Why do they hate us?
The answer, largely ignored by the press is they hate us because we are not Muslims: “The first thing that we are calling you to is Islam.”
Reading bin Ladin’s criticism of us for our ‘separation of church and state’ and of his desire that we institute sharia law reminded me of Justice Breyer. Breyer, as we all know, likes to subject us to the laws of other nations, laws ‘foreign to our constitution’. (The laws of other nations are not binding, he informs us, but they are instructive. Yeah. Right. Hey, Mister Justice, they become binding when you write them into the body of our constitutional law. But I digress.) I note he seems to have no interest in subjecting us to the dictates of sharia.
