Lost in Translation

After September 11th, one noted philospher observed this.

Many families have been devastated tonight. This just is not right. They did not deserve to die. If someone did this to get back at Bush, then they did so by killing thousands of people who did not vote for him! Boston, New York, DC, and the planes’ destination of California — these were places that voted against Bush! - Michael Moore

This statement may or may not agree with the above.

Your security is in your own hands. And every state that doesn’t play with our security has automatically guaranteed its own security. - Osama Bin Laden

This version is more clear.

Your security is in your own hands, and any U.S. state that does not toy with our security automatically guarantees its own security. - Osama Bin Laden

Of course, trusting in the word of a man responsible for the death of thousands is a mighty dangerous thing to do.

It seems that we have the chance to consult with an expert.

There he was, OBL, all tan and rested and on videotape (hey, did you get the feeling that he had a bootleg of my movie? Are there DVD players in those caves in Afghanistan?) - Michael Moore
