<...And that kind of action can't be countered by massive wars. It can only be countered by peace and education and understanding and acceptance.

...Somewhere the violence HAS to stop, and negotiations and accords need to be created.

You people are serious, aren't you?

At what point can the concept be pounded into the heads of the Kumbayah Crowd that there are some issues that cannot be resolved by everyone sitting around the table and passing the pipe around?

If I might post a little reminder of what the other guys are looking for.

Maybe Osama wrote this, maybe it was just another representative of radical Islam. Please pay particular attention to the list following the phrase "What are we calling you to, and what do we want from you?"

Where do you find middle ground here? Stop throwing meaningless flatulent liberal buzzwords around and THINK. Negotiation implies some form of give and take. Where do you meet a mind like this halfway? What are the details here? At what point does "education, understanding and acceptance" come into this? They flew planes full of men, women, and children into office buildings containing men and women sitting at their desks with their morning coffee. What do these people have to teach me? Why the hell does no one ever demand that the radicals accept and understand things for a change?

It's the same problem with Israel negotiating with the current Palestinian leadership. The latter currently has the sole goal of the utter removal of the nation of Israel from the Middle East. Where do you compromise and negotiate on something like that? Unless the leadership changes, nothing will change.
