Bin Laden Was Dead Already

HAD Osama bin Laden been killed during the presidency of George W. Bush,

he might have become an iconic martyr for anti-Western movements

throughout the Muslim world. Those days are gone. Jihadist Web sites mourn

their slain mentor, but few in the Arab street care for a man who brought nothing

to the region but havoc and desolation, provoked the United States

into waging war and, above all, reinforced the very rulers

whom radical Islamists most wished to topple.

Jenny Tonge was yesterday sacked from the Liberal Democrat frontbench

by party leader Charles Kennedy

after he rejected as completely unacceptable her remarks suggesting

that she might have resorted to violence

had she been a Palestinian.
