Maybe It's Just Me, But Silverspoon's Speech Sounded Like. . .
Advertisements [?]
. . .it could have been written by binLaden.

Vague references to desiring an empire, and how we have to stop them now, and how they threaten our way of life and democracy, and blah, blah, blah.

If one replaces every mention of islamic radicalism (or islamofascism) with "the west" and every mention of "democracy" or "way of life" with "Islam", it sounds like binLaden could be the one giving the speech, with the U.S. as the "threat".

Of course, i haven't heard one commentator or editorial writer make that comparison. But, to me it's painfully obvious.
