Or something like that. I had heard some "fringe nuts" say that Menachem Begin was a terrorist before he got respectable and became Prime Minister of Israel. He was a member of Irgun, I believe. The Irgun was the Hamas of its day, only it was Jewish. Anyway, now the story comes out that Begin sold his gold watch to finance an assassination attempt against Konrad Adenaur, the Chancellor of West Germany at the time.
Begin later shared the Nobel Peace Prize with Anwar Sadat. Now ain't that sumpthin'? Perhaps one day Osama will be one of our strongest allies. Hey, it's happened before!
