Failure to communicate

Some people foolishly believe that communication can solve all problems. Here is a recent example:

Imagine if somebody were to really sit down with Osama Bin Ladin and say, ‘listen man, what is it that you’re so angry at me about that you’re willing to have people strap bombs to themselves, or get inside of airplanes and fly them into buildings.’ That would be the miracle if we can get, sit down and talk to our enemies and find a way for them to hear us. – Matthew Modine

Modine was an actor in the movie Full Metal Jacket. Bin Laden has made himself clear enough.
