Heroes, Terrorists and Osama

If Mandela was not a terrorist to them, why did they imprison him for 27 years? Even Fidel Castro is a hero in his country, and the U.S. government knows him as a terrorist.

Still, we are not talking about people who fly airplanes into buildings and kill thousands of innocent civilians, as Osama bin Laden admits he did.

First, fighting can be with a gun, or it can be with propaganda. Because when there is fighting, it is a fight whether you fire a gun or whether you send a plane into the World Trade Center. But you are a journalist, you cannot consider the propaganda of governments, you have to consider the reality on the ground. Since Osama was fighting against his enemy, he could use any tactic he had available to him.

America and other countries are concerned that the Islamic Courts want to impose a kind of Taliban regime on Somalia.

American citizens choose the way their leaders lead them and how their constitution is. And we have an accord to choose how to rule our country, establish our constitution. So we have to feel free to rule our country as our people want. Every nation has its right to choose their own rules, and our rules come from our religion.

What sort of government do you expect to see in Somalia?
