Bin Laden Explained![Assistant U.S. Attorney Paul] Butler said bin Laden, a fugitive on the FBI's Ten Most Wanted List, directed the bombings as part of his campaign to use an army trained in Afghanistan to "overthrow governments he did not like." Because we've all learned that it is rude to coddle those not able to prosper under the New World Business Model, and because we're certain that no one dares suggest that the rules should be different for any other arena, like, say health care or foreign affairs, it finally makes sense, given Mr. Butler's illuminating analysis, why this bin Laden guy provokes so much official malice-sis: he's an upstart entrepreneur challenging our long-established business and so if he and his cronies have to become feweur in number: so be it. We've worked long and hard to gain monopoly control over this planet and we want things done the right way, meaning our way, of course, and we're very good at this type of international coercion and we have our standards and so obviously we recoil when anyone other than ourselves attempts these delicate operations which simply must not be done slopoly. Sure, sometimes we come off like thugs, kneecapping the weak and powerless for purely material gain, and sure, sometimes it appears we're simply trying to sweep something embarrassing under our rugs, But it's a hard job, overthrowing governments we don't like, and we've got to do what we can; however, again, we repeat: this is our racket, uh, market: don't try this from Afghanistan!
