So who is bin Laden? Is he a criminal, a
revolutionary, a theologian, or perhaps a historically
unique and significant blend of all three?one who,
like a medieval Crusader (perhaps a Bernard of
Clairvaux), is armed with a righteous sense of
aggression and feels compelled to preach violence
while crying out, ?Deus lo volt!? (?God wills it!?)?
