There has been increasing reports of Osama bin Laden hiding out in Iran, including this report from Debkafile. It makes sense because in Iran, he doesn’t have to hide in the mountains but gets to live in luxury as a hero and he knows the US will not go after him there. Even if the US confirmed that Osama was in Iran, it is unlikely we would do anything more then additional meaningless sanctions that even we wouldn’t follow in the end.
On another note and perhaps more importantly South Korea some time ago announced that it was North Korea that sank one of its ships and killed several dozen sailors and all they have done is hold exercises.
It’s becoming more and more apparent that free and previously strong nations are paper tigers. These nations, including the US are afraid to respond because they want everyone to like them, including their enemies. They are like elementary school kids who think that giving the bully their lunch money will turn the bully in their favor. When a nation does stand up against its enemies such as Israel has done, it gets international condemnation.
In the same way, politicians are rolling over to allow the ground zero mosque to be built. They try to promote it as a healing opportunity, which it is obviously not when 9/11 families are being more hurt by this and the large cries to stop it are being ignored. They say this mega mosque will promote interfaith dialogue, but Islam does not believe in allowing non Muslims to speak freely. Just look at every Muslim majority country, the best you can hope for is to be a Dhimmi. There are no churches allowed in places like Saudi Arabia. The mosque is even being slated to open on 9/11/11, the ten year anniversary of the Islamic attack on the US.
It seems the world is ripe for the picking. It may only be a matter of time before someone steps up or steps from the shadows into place.
