Jim, You can describe an opinion as "insane" and "gratuitous nonsense" if it is just me, but not when such well informed people are saying it.
And what are your quotes worth?
Just vox pops from Yemen!
I was forcefully told that vox pops were worthless a couple of weeks ago.
Except the Hamas quote.
My post acknowledged that they are out of line with Arab thinking.
Not surprising as they are the old kind of regime, authoritarian and undemocratic, that Arabs are busy kicking out just now.
Also, they are a West hating terrorist organisation, so not surprising they agree with you.

Are you going to tell us why you think OBL should not have been killed now?
