I am an American citizen. I did not realize that this website originates from Saudi Arabia. In my country, we hold elections for our people to vote for people to represent them. Nobody ever picked me to represent the American people and talk to the people of Saudi Arabia. Secretary of State Colin Powell holds that honor.
I submit completely to my government's estimation of bin Laden. The actions and behaviors of Usamah Bin-Muhammad Bin-Laden towards America have been [b:11e48a1605]bad.[/b:11e48a1605] He has ordered the killing of me and other Americans.
Here is the fatwa urging the killing of Americans and our allies:

He's on the FBI Ten Most Wanted Fugitive list:

I do have a personal message for bin Laden: I think if he has issues with the U.S. Government he needs to talk to Colin Powell in Washington. Also, there is no disagreement I could have with my government that would result in me joining bin Laden in his fight against my country. I do not know any American that would join al-Quaeda.
In my country, we have freedom of speech. We don't have to agree on everything. This means I can burn the American flag, I can write Washington expressing my disagreement on a U.S. policy, and I can stand outside the White House with a sign saying I do not agree with the government. The freedom to disagree is what makes America great.
Sincerely,
Manon
Always an American
