@Bond369 - Welcome! Nice to see you again.
I don't think anyone had to seriously consider the "offer" Osama made. If Europe pulls it's soldiers out of all Muslim countries, the terrorists will ask for more. France has not taken part in the Iraq fiasco, um...I mean war, and they are still a target because of the head scarve ban.
The French once paid off the Vikings so the Vikings wouldn't rout them and destroy Paris. Instead of solving the problem, the various Viking clans came back again and again demanding more and more treasure and if Europe "pays off Osama" by giving into his demands, the same thing will happen.
@Fatboy - very clever. I enjoyed reading that.
