Bin Laden is not searched or wanted officially by the USA for 9/11 attacks, nor by the Interpol. So if he is still alive, he doesn’t need to hide. He can peacefully live anywhere in the world (maybe except in the USA :) Obama needs a reason to send more troops to Afghanistan, he wouldn’t dare to acknowledge that Bin Laden is already dead.

I agree with LIBERTAS
I don't benieve this report. Someone is using Bin Laden's name AGAIN for it's convenience. Many intelligence agencies think that Bin Laden is dead in the US military hospital in Pakistan in Dec 2001.

Well, I guess this is an Anglo-Saxon taste (it's so British!)... I don't think French or Italian magazine would agree with this choice !

I anyway, "War on terror" was just a "Catchphrase" of Bush's propaganda. He actually didn't fight the "War on terror". It was "the war for money".

A company is not a charity association. If they follow the law, it's fair enough. Because in most of the time, the companies try to avoid to pay if the employees don't work.

I don't know what his motivation is, and I don't really approuve what he did for the children, but at the same time, he should have the right to do what he wants, if America is really the land of liberty. (but obviously not)

They should establish the statistics of the US soldiers crime rate, like in Iraq, Japan or Phillipine etc... I think it would be record high as well.

Since 2001, 8600 rockets were fired and they killed 28 Israelis. It’s difficult to say that Hamas wanted to kill specifically these people. Because they never know where their rockets land. They didn’t target these people on purpose. (But I agree that they had the intention to destroy or kill something or somebody in Israel)
On the other hand, Israel knows that there are innocent civilians but she fires them all the same, intentionally. Those civilians were not killed by accident. They were targeted on purpose. So Israel is guilty of murder and war crime.

I think we are all familiar with the situation of a gangster takes a hostage and uses it as a « human shield » surrounded by the heavily armed police. But I never heard about a case that the police fired on both of them to get the gangster. Because the humanitarian ideology refuses this kind of tactic. (To kill the gangster and the hostage)
So if Israel knows that there are innocent civilians including children, in spite of the presence of Hamas members, it should not fire. You can blame Hamas to use the human shields, but you should also blame Israel to kill the innocents, knowing that they are there.

YuriOtani :
You rerally don't know anything about Jews, Arabs or Europeans etc... What makes you think this stupidity about Palestinians? I'm sure you never traveled in Arab countries. I travelled many Islamic countries ( Egypt, Morocco, Tunisia, Lybia, Turkey, Kenya) and they all have the Jewish, Christian communities living together in their society. It's really not a problem for them to live together peacefully. Only the extremists cause the problem, like in Algeria. Even if they don't have the same custom as you, it doesn't mean that they are evil. Actually the ordinary arab people are quite nice and they laugh, cry and get angry like anyone in the world. Don't forget that they ar the humans as well.
You have a very simplistic vision of the world.

Just be realistic. UN is useless. While they are debating about the cease-fire, the conflict is getting worse. UN couldn't stop the US Iraq invasion.

I can see that you are not familier with European geography. What you call "Intelligent Europeans" are in fact the poor ex-east countries. (Bulgaria, Tchch, Hangary etc.) They don't have any othe alternative than to depend on the good old USSR time relationship. They don't have the money and technology to get the alternative energy. Have you ever been to Europe???
I noticed that you have a very simple vision of the world. For you, "Europeans" are all the same as well as "Arabs". You need to learn more if you want to make a credible comment.

YangYong gave us a good link, we all should read to see the reality. Many of us knew already, but most of the posters ignore those facts.
How Israel brought Gaza to the brink of humanitarian catastrophe
Oxford professor of international relations Avi Shlaim served in the Israeli army and has never questioned the state's legitimacy. But its merciless assault on Gaza has led him to devastating conclusions

Madverts :
It’s like you are watching a fight, a huge muscled wicked adults beating a naughty small children until all their bones are broken in blood.
It’s not the question of “Who is right and who is wrong”. It’s a question of humanity. Even if both of them should be blamed, someone must stop the fight, instead of watching it sitting on the fence. Especially the strong adults beat even the children who are not concerned in the fight.
I don’t really blame you, as we individually can’t do anything. Big power like Russia, China and EU should intervene by force just to stop the fight. Political solution may come later, but just stop the fight. (Forget about the USA, they are always with Israel, even under Obama I guess. And we all know that UN is just useless.)
The problem is that in this issue, everybody is watching on the fence and no one tries to move a small finger a bit. (What Sarkozy is doing is useless as well. It’s his stage performance.)
