Bin Laden's latest tape

I can't quite understand why it has been left to an Islamist terrorist to point out to our rulers that ethnic cleansing in Palestine and countless killings of Iraqis is actually morally wrong. Why can our leaders not just do the right thing? Why can't they withdraw their craven support for imperial America and the racist war criminals of the state of Israel? Simultaneously they can deal with the security problems of al-Qaida and other terrorist groups. But simply because Osama Bin Laden is anti-Zionist and anti-war on Iraq doesn't mean we have to support ethnic cleansing or war-mongering for corporate profits in Iraq. Osama Bin Laden is an enemy. That doesn't make all of his enemies our friends.
