When you ride ALONE you ride with bin Laden What the GovernmentSHOULDBe Telling Us to Help Fight the War on Terrorism BY BILL MAHER NEW MILLENNIUM PRESS Beverly Hills Dedication Idedicate this book to my partner in crime, Sheila Griffiths, and to my friends Michael Viner, Kim Dao and Billy Martin, who also contributed mightily to achieving my completely unreasonable demand toget the book idea I thought of in June out inNovember. Also, I am foreverinthe debt of the talented artists who brought to life the images yousee in these posters. As my agent never stopped telling me, “a picture is worth a thousand dollars.” Acknowledgements There are a few people I’d like to acknowledge formaking this book possible, andtheyare.
