Dear Howard:
Thanks for sharing your site. This is the third time I've read this
letter...the first time it came to me via The London Times as a Letter
to the Editor. It's had quite a circulation and is very well written.
The difficulty I have with it is it paints a picture of bin Laden as if
he is some type of God, or perhaps the Devil. He is attributed with
superhuman powers in the letter.
The power of evil is indeed tremendous, but I cannot imagine telling a
Sunday School class that the devil is so.o.o powerful that it is
pointless to fight him. Might we die trying? I suppose some of us
shall. But surely, surely it is better to fight evil than to sit by
passively and allow it to take over the world.
BTW: I don't believe bin Laden will have a billion to fight for him.
His own homeland exiled him. It will be interesting to see how this
thing shakes out, but I hope bin Laden becomes a luxury few countries
feel they can afford.
Oh...and we could also pray to our God to help us out. I should hope He
is stronger than bid Laden! May God watch over the women and children
and innocent Afghanistans during our hunt for evil.
Lucy
