Osama Bin Laden is dead.
Titian: Cain and Abel -1542 (Santa Maria della Salute, Venice)
The leader of a terrorist group, Al Qaeda, was once supported by the U.S and armed by the same to fight against the Soviets. The wealthy son of a Saudi construction company owner who followed and implemented the plans set out by the CIA, was supported by Pakistan, US and Britain. The US policy then was to drum up support for Muslim radicals to destabilize the Soviet Union. Bin Laden fought against the Soviet Union and helped to bring the communist regime to it’s knees. Until Russia withdrew from Afghanistan, he largely financed and organised Mujahideen training camps, while the weaponry and military trainers came from the US,
In fact the block buster movie Rambo 111, was set in Afghanistan, featuring the mujahideen supported by the US. Prior to the American war in Afghanistan, the ending quote of the movie read “This film is dedicated to the brave Mujahideen fighters of Afghanistan”. This was then edited to read “people of Afghanistan”.
Hypocrisy? Osama bin Laden is dead, he was shot through the head, the papers were fed, the people now, they are led ? We witness shows of joy from people celebrating at Ground Zero and gleeful comments about the death of the man, who once was Americas friend, until he turned against them.
But why did he fall out?
