So I just saw this headline on Yahoo News "Bin Laden Urges Fighters To Sudan". Now of course, the people being slaughtered in Sudan that the West has been talking (and talking) about intervening for are Muslims. So I was thinking, "Hey, Bin Laden's going to be on our side on this one!" as he famously was in 1980's Afghanistan, and less famously but more aptly, in 1990's Bosnia. So I was like "Hey, cool, like old times!" But then I read the article and it turns out he's saying that his martyrs should attack UN facilities, because all the West is at war with Islam. Fuck you, man! Seriously that guy is such a dick, he's going for any opportunity to kill Westerners, even when they're theoretically trying to help innocent Muslims out. Such a dick! I'm so through with that guy.
Indeed, it's possible that this, like so much of the tragedy in human history, is all just a wacky linguistic mixup...
"The Sudan" is a dance, my friend. A bit like the Charleston. More sweat, less moves, but that's the way they made it. Would you be so hard up in the neck-tie if that headline read "Bin Laden Urges Fighters To Charleston"? I don't think so. Anyway, what Bin Laden doesn't realize is I don't play that tune, and last I heard, neither does Glen Miller. So his gang is going to have a real dry party if they want to Sudan.
