> I'm willing to conced that Bin Laden's statements concerning Palestine may not be all that they seem... I think that the important thing to think about though is that it is not a matter of being for or against Palestine so much as being against Israel and the United States, and this has always been Bin Laden's stance...Okay, just wanted you to have an open mind to the facts.

> I never meant to rile anyone up, or get embroiled in a heated argument, these are just my points of view and I think I'm entitled to them... I fully agree with your points and I'm not disputing them, but I am disputing my right to post an op ed piece on this preievously posted work, a right which I don't feel is out of line in the slightest.I don't have any problem with your right to post against the poem, and of course you have a right to your point of view.

> I hope you'll accept my appologies if In some way you feel that I have tried to incite an argument, I fully believe in the right of every individual to post their point of view.I wasn't offended and don't really don't need an apology. But thanks. And I think the people who a bit thrown off by your reaction expressed themselves in their posts.
Peace,
Shelli
