All the space aliens had to do to take over the planet was hide in the bushes, turn on and off electrisity from town to town and watch while the people came at each othe with their predjiduces and fears and exploded at each other. Like the older brothers personal issues may have been used to stimulate him to do an
Unthinkable act. It is good when I see people NOT give into mob violence mentality.
Another thought. I guess I'm not that pollitically advanced, but I could not help but be proud of Obama and how far America has moved in comparison to the "let's retalliate immediatly regardless of whether we know who we are retalliating against, or what those we are lashing out have at all to do with what just happened mentality" that seemed so prevelent after the twin tower attacks. Remembering the Manson, "helter skelter" terrorism to insight race war theme, I kind of felt like there was some connection beetween the mindset Ben Ladden, if what he did was a brilliant, all be it horrific, chess move to get America to lash out at Iraq, and thus improve his standing, by creating, stimulating race/religon war. Those who lust for violence tend to gravitate toward stimulating race/religon "diffentnesses", as a way of stimllating the weak minded. It's kind of like that twilight zone episode where all the enemy aliens (from outter space)
Very interesting. Along the lines of the father son thing, look at the age sepparation of the 2 boys. As an older sibling of same sex siblings 7, 8, and 14 years than myself, foster parent who has raised many kids, and as a schoolteacher I am very familiar with hero worship among sibblings. Add to that an absentee father and I can easily see how a younger brother, could easily be drug into something that would be entirely out of charicter for him otherwise. The older brother was going through life failures, divorce etc. . His comment about no friends in America goes hand in hand with attachment disorder behavior. They talk about the older brother comming here later than the younger one. So who was he living with before? How old was he when his family first came here without him? How did that make him feel? What kind of abandonment issues could he have developed? Did he blame his father for abandoning him? Then, after he is here, his father goes away again? How did he feel about that? Ok, add to that "if"" the older bro;er is pissed off at dad, add to that typical family dynamics and it is no large leep to see "ownersip" of younger brothers loyalties as a prize to be fought over, or conquest over dad. With dad out of the picture, over seas, older brother wins. If younger brother does survive, I doubt questioning him will get him to reveal what he probably does not understand.
