As puppet Condi Rice hops about singing "Give War a Chance" in Lebannon, George W. "Bush's Enemy du Jour" is the "terrorist" Hezbollah, according to Marjorie Cohn at AlterNet. (I disagree with Cohn's conclusion that Osama bin Laden was upset about "U.S.-U.N. sanctions against the people of Iraq, U.S. bases in Saudi Arabia, and U.S.-Israel's treatment of the Palestinians." I think it would be more accurate to say that bin Laden and others like him have used the legitimate grievences of the peoples of the Middle- East for their own--primarily religious fundimentalist--purposes.)
