I sat down in front of an aquaintance's desk yesterday and saw one of those russian dolls which have other smaller and smaller dolls inside. The outside one which was about 10" high had a very nice depiction of Osama on it and I just had to comment on it and ask where he got it. He said he got it as a gift and then invited me to have a look at it. Inside the Osama doll was a Saddam doll and then a Benito doll, then a Yassar doll and finally an Adolph doll, all very well done in acrylics. It appeared to have come from Russia and it turned out that it was. I was a little surprised that it would be representative of the feelings of at least some Russians on Osama and his friends.
I had to remark that all of those people made rather strange bedfellows, which gave him the opportunity to talk more on the issue at hand. He said: I envy Osama because he's a rich man who has chosen to do something about his concerns as opposed to just accepting the status quo. He commented that the U.S. decided to use thousand pound shells to destroy villages of civilians in Iraq from miles away and that Osama just took it as that being the way the U.S. chose to play the game.
While I can't totally agree on Osama's methods, and I told him so, I still couldn't disagree with him on the facts of the matter. Actually he was totally right to remark on the method the US chose to destroy Iraq and kill the Iraqi civilian population.
I'm just wondering if any of the people on this forum would be able to disagree with what he said and give a well-founded argument to disprove it.
