The US armed the Mujjahdeen of Afghanistan to fight the Soviets, and Bin Laden was part of this, paid by agents of the United States.
The blowback we precipitated in 1979 came back to haunt us in 2001.
let him go, keep your dignity, forget what all of the (abusive? abused? abusers?) others wrote in response to this letter
the woman is deserving of compassion - the guy deserves to move on - sometimes it just doesn't "work" - let go and open the next door
"i'm not gay"

Mr. Smith, I have always been impressed with your rational explanations of potentially hysterical aspects of air travel.
I was in Leesburg, Virginia on September 11th, and remember well the progression of events that morning as I watched in the customer lounge of an auto dealer’s repair shop.
The Pentagon crash was filmed by a security camera across the street from the impact. This was immediately confiscated and has never been released.
If the government wanted to clear this up they could release this video.
I cannot help but think that we have not yet been told the entire truth about what happened on September 11th
After all, we have not even been told the entire truth about John Kennedy’s assassination.
The motion picture industry as the keeper of America's morals? Give me a break.
These are the people who give us uplifting fare like Saw, Hostel, Freddy vs. Jason and I Know What You Did Last Summer.
It's ok to show someone taking life; it's not OK to show someone making love.
Media never influences behavior; it only reflects society’s ills. That’s why corporate America spends billions on advertising and product placement, right?
. . . because it will be tagged as another 'liberal media attack.'
The question really is how many racists still live and vote in Virginia?
A story like this will not lose Allen any votes from that constituency, nor will it gain him any from the left.
It is obvious that James Webb is the candidate with more character and the safe bet for a good US Senator.
It remains to be seen if the people of Virginia will ultimately realize this.
that was scary! well done. had to read it twice to 'get it' . . .
I bought an iPod Shuffle on the Apple.com website, before it ever shipped. $149 for the 1GB model.
It worked for three months, then gave up the ghost.
I called Apple and they said I could mail it in (wait three days for the mailer to arrive, and another week to ten days for it to return by msil) or bring it to an Apple Store to have it looked at. It was still under warranty.
When I arrived at the Apple Store, I was told I would have to make an appointment to see an 'Apple Genius' - and there were no appointments available until 5PM (It was 1PM).
I explained that it just plain did not work, I had other things to do that day and all I wanted to do was exchange it under warranty for a new one. No go - have to see a Genius.
Could I leave it to be looked at and call back later? No.
They told me if I wanted a 'Pro Care' service contract, they could look at it right away! How much? $99!
So I could pay an additional $99 for a $149 item to be looked at immediately under its existing warranty, or come back in four hours.
Naturally I found it odd that by paying more money, the previously engaged Genius would suddenly have time for me. Hmmm . . .
I had not drunk the Kool-Aid that day, so rather than making a scene or coming back later, I left the store, broke the Shuffle in half and threw it away.
I like the products, but not the attitude.
We would have honest voting if American politicians and bureaucrats wanted it. We don’t, so why is everyone so surprised? Are we truly so naïve to think that all of this is unintentional?
Can anyone honestly examine the entire political system of the United States and not conclude that it has been totally co-opted from top to bottom?
Diebold controls billions of dollars in ATM transactions every day without allegations of fraud, but can’t design a transparent voting machine system.
I have worked with information technology for thirty-five years and I trust electronic voting about as much as I trust electronic slot machines.
if you go to his church's website, you can still download his sermons:

i doubt they will offer the phone messages any time soon . . .
That was the funniest TMW in quite a while!
. . . and I am grateful to see Mr. Allen's career smacked on the backside by the opening door of James Webb's political ascension. Mr. Allen could never hold a candle to a man of Webb’s character and integrity.
I was present at the inauguration of Webb's Richmond campaign headquarters last summer. It was quite revealing to see Jim Webb alongside the other politicos on the stage that day. He conveyed greater presence and stature than any of the Democratic officials assembled around him.
I have not voted in an election since 1980, and I am very glad that I made the effort to vote for Jim Webb yesterday.
Webb is poised to make political history. . .
200 years of tradition, unmarred by progress.
and dark! Unhappy ending quite appropriate to the subject at hand. . .
Much of the initial coverage about Fort Hood turned out to be wrong. Is there anything wrong with that?
The accountability imposed by another country for the CIA's kidnapping and torture reveals much about our own.
Fox News' morning show plays to type, talking about whether Muslims in the Army should face "special debriefings"
219 Democrats and one Republican join in favor of the legislation, which passed by a narrow margin
