Bin Laden’s Truce [Archives:2006/914/Letters to the Editor]

Although bin Laden has offered Bush a truce, the conditions of the truce would result in the loss of income for Bush's friends. Presently, the occupation of Iraq has created hundreds and perhaps thousands of millionaires – all of them Bush's friends and, in turn, much money from these friends will be donated back to Bush and Cheney. Also, the majority of the US population still favors the continuation of the occupation by Bush's mercenary forces.

The occupation of Iraq is a goldmine for the Bush administration and, even if bin Laden were to surrender, the occupation would continue for years to come. Nothing can stop Bush in his desire to destroy the Moslem world. Nothing except thousands more suicide bombers.
