Message: Who’s Cheering for Bin Laden? During the German occupation of my homeland in the Second World War there were nightly shouts of "Vasta Rommel" by certain Greeks. "Vasta" in Greek means "Hold on." In other words, Greeks were praying for the great Erwin Rommel to hold against Montgomery's 8th army. The German officers who were billeted in our house were immensely flattered. Until, that is, Fraulein, my German nanny, informed them that those shouting "Vasta Rommel!" were black marketeers hoping for an Axis victory because that ensured bigger profits. The neo-cons are essentially shouting "Vasta Bin Laden!" The more bloodshed, chaos and disruption, the more it gives Israel the excuse to practice ethnic cleansing. The more the military-industrial complex thrives. The greater the hold of the neo-con influence within the White House.
