"Who is Osama Bin Laden really? Let me rephrase that. What is Osama Bin Laden? He's America's family secret. He is the American president's dark Doppelganger. The savage twin of all that purports to be beautiful and civilized. He has been sculpted from the spare rib of a world laid to waste by America's foreign policy: its gunboat diplomacy, its nuclear arsenal, its vulgarly stated policy of "full-spectrum dominance," its chilling disregard for non-American lives, its barbarous military interventions, its support for despotic and dictatorial regines, its merciless economic agenda that has munched through the economies of poor countries like a cloud of locusts...Now that the family secret has been spilled, the twins are blurring into one another and gradually becoming interchangeable.
