Ayman who?

We are used to flights of fancy from Al-Qaeda and their ilk. But when Ayman al-Zawahri emerged today and stated "Bush, do you know where I am? I am among the Muslim masses," we must respond. The Muslim masses of today are in Cairo, Jakarta, Karachi, Tehran, Istanbul or Damascus. Mr. Zawahri, as far as anyone knows, lives somewhere in the North West Frontier Province of Pakistan, a rural area with little infrastructure and relatively few people. This fact speaks to his distance, both ideologically and geographically from the Muslim masses. Indeed, as we have written here before, were it not for his fellow fantasists in the White House, we would have long since consigned Mr. Zawahri to the dustbin of history.
