Omar bin Laden come out in Cairo, Egypt to tell the press that his father Osama bin Laden is sorry. When the news reporter asked why he did it, why he wanted the twin towers to come down on September 11, 2001, Omar said his father thought that some would die in order for millions of others to be saved. Omar also said that his father was sorry for the lives that were lost on that fateful day. The interviewer then asked Omar, “Then do you condemn what he did?”. Omar responded, “Yes, I believe he did it wrong”.
Omar wants to be an ambassador for peace. But he also said that his father is a very kind man.
I don’t know the beliefs that the bin Ladens hold, or how they were raised to think about the world, but I don’t think that someone who raises armies to kill innocent people is a very kind man. Then when Omar comes out saying that he wants to be an ambassador for peace and that his father is a kind man, I can only wonder what his scheme is. What is he after? I also wonder what goes through their head when they kill innocent people. How can they think that is right? Whatever the case, I though this video by ABC was very interesting. (This video was a featured video on yahoo and there was no link provided, but if you want to see the video and it is not on the main yahoo web anymore than I am sure that if you search for Omar Bin Laden’s interview on ABC it would not be hard to find.)

Interesting article and post, thanks. I think that it is important for us to listen to views from the other side, (perhaps Osama is subject to a bit too much bad propaganda?), but also to realize that Omar has a bias and that we need to carefully examine his motives for his comments.
