You may be doing your fellow countrymen an injustice, tsu. A British columnist recently coined the word "Osamamania" to describe the sexual attraction some Western women secretly harbor for bin Laden. The columnist didn't quite get it herself but suspected that some women are aroused by men who give off a "whiff of cordite". (In this case, they are getting a lot more than a "whiff".) She also speculated on the "Stockholm syndrome" possibility and a mating instinct which attracts women to the fiercest, 'baddest' man in the crowd.
