What would surrender mean?
Den Beste, the man who thinks September 11th was a source of jokes, says this in his latest confusion:"The reason we were attacked in September of 2001 was because bin Laden believed we'd fold and surrender"
I often accused of not understanding the great sage, so in an attempt to understand this can someone explain to me what he means? To me 'surrender' means basically accepting the enemies' terms. It's never been exactly what Bin Laden's terms are, but if you read Den Beste... ok, ok, let's say a more authorative voice such as the Prime Minister, or even Oliver Kamm, you learn that these basically are an Islamic government across the entire world, and the various terrible consequences of that.
Did Bin Laden really believe this would be the response to 9/11? Does anyone believe that?
