Bush might just be the best thing Bin Laden has going for him. Bin-Laden has demonstrated amazing expertise in getting press. And it is precisely press that is the measure of the effectiveness of his form of terrorism.

Gerry Adams said that "one bomb at Harrads in London is worth 50 in Belfast." What he meant by this is simply the press might ignore any number of bombs in Belfast. One bomb at the most prestigious department store in London is world-wide news.

Bush with his confrontational style is the perfect foil for bin-Laden. Any action he takes is instant headlines.

Remember, all any terrorist group has to do to win is to merely survive---that is interpreted as winning. If the group is getting no notice they become irrelevant, the sound of one hand applauding.

Take this quick quiz. How many Arab leaders can you name? Heads of state can be included here. Betcha bin-Laden, a six foot, five inch with renal failure requiring regular dialasis tx is probably the first listed by most Americans.

Right now, unfortunately, bin Laden is good for Bush (politically), and Bush guarantees good press coverage for bin-Laden. Sort a media symbiosis.
