Is Bin Laden Creating Lookalikes? The Alarming Claim by Al-Qaeda
- The latest claim by Al-Qaeda suggests that Osama bin Laden has recruited at least ten lookalikes over the years, similar to how Saddam Hussein allegedly used decoys.
- Al-Qaeda's boast of having lookalikes raises concerns about the difficulty of targeting and eliminating the Saudi terror mogul.
- The phrase 'just the I-am-Spartacus sense' refers to the strategy of using decoys and lookalikes, similar to how Spartacus' supporters claimed that they were him in order to protect him.

Spartacus
Kill one bin Laden and a hundred will stand up to take his place ? that's been the boilerplate slogan among the Saudi terror mogul's worldwide supporters these past six weeks. But if the latest boast from al-Qaeda is anything to go by, they may mean it in more than just the I-am-Spartacus sense. The London-based Arab newspaper Al Hayat last Saturday quoted an al-Qaeda spokesman claiming that bin Laden has recruited at least ten lookalikes over the years, preparing them to play decoy in the same way that Saddam Hussein has reputedly done over the years. この中のjust the I-am-Spartacus senseとは、どういう意味なのでしょうか？つまり、スパルタカスのような気分とは？よろしくお願いします。

そのくだりは映画「Spartacus」の台詞を引用しているのではないでしょうか。ストーリーがかなりうろ覚えなので確かではないですが、敵に「スパルタカスはどこだ。」と聞かれた人々が彼を庇うために口々に「私がスパルタカスだ（I am Spartacus)。」と叫ぶシーンがあったと思います。どんな気分なのかと言われると...自分が身代わりになるぞというような気分ですかね。まぁ映画を見てみるのが一番手っ取り早いと思います。

～relations with the muslim world～ let's face it:much of the muslim world today is deeply distrustful of anything america does. for this, certainly, a good portion of the blame goes to the misguided invasion of ilaq and its aftermath - which, in turn, was a response to 9/11 and bin laden. in that sense, america played right bin laden's hands.

次の英文の和訳をお願いします。 now that bin laden is dead,the most pressingquestionwe need to ask is:will his death make a difference? thoughit is not an easy questionto answer, it seems to me that there are fourareas where it ought to be asked: ~the arab spring~ the comumentariat was quick to note the delisious irony that bin laden`s death coincided with the citizen uprisings in egypt,tunisia,libya and elsewhere.the arab spring has shown that millions of muslims have zero interest in the hard-line theocracy favored by al qaeda.what they yearn for instead is freedom and democracy. bin laden`s death merely put an exclamation point on the fact that his influence in the region had diminished considerably in the decade since 9/11. ~the war in afganistan~ ever since he came into office, president obama has insisted that our presence in afghanistan was directly related to the ongoing threat from al qaeda. liberal groups like the brave new foundation are already saying that binladen`s death has``ended the rationale``for the war.

Dear Carolyn: This year, both of my parents passed away after long, difficult illnesses. I know I should miss them more than I do, but I feel like I've been mourning for several years already. Does that make sense, or am I rationalizing somewhere? Thanks. -- Anonymous I'm sorry for the difficult years and losses. What you say makes complete sense. It's something that has come up for years in this column in the context of breakups: Some people start processing a breakup when it happens, and some start as soon as the relationship starts to fail. That's why some people can emerge from a divorce healthy and ready to date while others need years to regroup. There is little practical difference when the grief is over a death. over a deathの意味とoverの役割について教えてください。よろしくお願いします
