I think the new message from Bin Laden proves nothing and, to me, does not make a difference. I think what he did was wrong and his reasoning is flawed. I think that if he got the feeling you were the least bit from a western country he would kill you. I think Bin Laden could gain more crediblity if he was rationale and more in tune with proposing good deals rather than flawed ones.

I think this "War on Terror" is more propaganda than anything else. I think your assertion is incorrect. The "War on Terror" could end if we would approach situations around the world differently. I sitll believe in diplomacy, but the current administration has shown nothing but ignorance to the world and aggression. We need a new administration, whether it be Democrats or Republicans, to take a different stand with the world. To listen, talk, and agree and not argue, give ultimatems and declare war. I believe that people have flaws and some may never understand each other, but Bin Laden will continue to make videos and continue to grow his organization if we have an aggressive adminsitration such as the one we have. Remember, you can destroy thousands of people, but that never means that you have gotten rid of the thorn. On the contrary, you have created new ones because people do not have to be related to an action or crime you have committed to not like you. The US will have Iraq, and all the mistakes from it, for years to come.

Oh, and I think terrorists are nothing but a product of the US itself. We created them essentially. Betrayed them, befriended them and did pretty much about everything to assist them at times. Does this mean it was right what they did, have done, and plan on doing? Absolutely not. I don't agree with killing people nor declaring war on someone. We should be able to talk things out. Unfortunately the Islamic fundamentalist give a really bad name to the Islamic religion, hence why so many ignorant Americans associate Islam with terrorism. Just a shame...
