With quotes like this, I don't think she will be considered essential in America:
>Interviewed in 2003, she said, "I consider Osama bin Laden as one of the people that I admire.
- OtomotO 5y agoOsama bin Laden was an ally of the US. As was Saddam Hussein, Gaddafi and many others. Never forget that.

- kergonath 5y agoSeveral things to keep in mind: - you can admire some people you consider enemies; - you can admire some people and still wish that they fail, or consider some of their actions bad; - you can admire some people that are despised by other people in your country; - America put her in a camp for years during the war; - people are more complicated than black and white heroes and vilains. Also, you cannot judge someone based on a sentence taken out of context.
- stevenwoo 5y agoThe full quote/wikipedia article is a bit more subtle indictment of the USA's foreign military interventions though the name dropping of bin Laden is a provocation - it feels close to paraphrasing Chomsky's the way to stop terrorism is to stop participating in terrorism.
