Questions for Mr. Parry:

While you suggest that Mr. Bush and Mr. Bin Laden have overlapping goals, you fail to differentiate their long-term goals for the Mideast.

What are Bin Laden's and Zawahiri's and al Qaeda's long-term goals in the Mideast?

There is much data to suggest that their goals in the long run are quite different.
