Is Osama bin Laden a genius?

[GEM]

Genius is a technical definition. Go give him the WAIS and tell me his IQ. He was trained as an engineer and doesn't seem stupid but I doubt that he is technically a genius. Might be - but so what.

Rommel was defending his country in France and North Africa. How dat happen? Must have gotten lost.

Art was correct that Lewis' book is a great read.

Okay, Rommel was SERVING his country. You folks that bring this up totally miss what I was replying to. The guy claimed Rommel was a Nazi. Which is Wrong Information. Why didn't you address that? You pick away at one word and completely miss what the post was about.

Reminds me of the saying "Can't see the forrest because of one tree."

Any man who helped, not necessarily supported Hitler's cause is a Nazi to me.

Oh, NOW I see...he isn't a Nazi!



With that logic, Osama bin Laden isn't "really an Islamofacist, he's just SERVING his religion"

Wow, apparently I have to spell it out. A Nazi is/was a member of the Nazi Party. Rommel was not a member of the Nazi Party.

However he was an outstanding general. If you can't respect your enemies, then it belittles the accomplishments of your allies.
