Now I didn't save the message I sent, but I could have sworn that I said
they would need some sort of challenge, something they thought they
could do to show they were "special" ... if I didn't say that it was an
egregious omission.
Oshama Bin Laden is the poor little rich boy that no one respected
because all he had to do to get where he was was be born. He needed to
prove that he was capable of something ... so he became a fanatic who
could turn others into suicidal fanatics. He is much like the kid that
gets into trouble just so he can get some attention, because even a
spanking is better than being ignored.
Oshama knew he couldn't complete with Mother Teresa or Bill Gates at
doing "good things," so he opted for "bad things," choosing to be
notorious instead of an nonentity.
