That's not simply because he remains at large while reports of his spokesmen threatening new terror outrages have become a media staple. It's because an important measure of Bin Laden's strategic success or failure is the extent to which his worldview is embraced, or repudiated, on the Arab street.

Land Rover may incorporate Jaguar's new V-8 engine in its SUVs. And Volvo is expected to share...
...deity; it's a little cheap. The Almighty likes to work on a case-by-case basis anyway. I'm all for patriotism and all for religion. But they need to be watched. Sometimes patriotism becomes the next-to-last refuge of a scoundrel. And sometimes - as Osama bin Laden and certain pederast priests should have proved to us by now - religion becomes the last refuge...
