    hey random..

    a good point there...about him not being the ruler of a country, and not having any land..

    but here's a thought ...

    the notion of nation states, and armies and legions of regular troops is about as usefull in that region as the redcoats fighting in a line while pioneers shot at them from behind trees..

    most of those countries have kingdoms and governments that are barely supported by their citizens..
    now that is a tad general, and there are exceptions..
    but lets face it,
    tribal loyalties, and religeous conviction counts fore more than 'i am from here or there'...

    if a group of people follow the teachings of a particular imam or whatever..then it doesn't really matter what country they're in...

    all the roads, inevitably lead to mecca..
    know what i mean?

    anyhow..i know what you mean, about osama not having any country to represent,...i'm just not sure that applies in the middle east...

    but hey...i'm just throwing some ideas around...just talking..ya know?

    always curious what the rest of you think....
