I think it's a positive step, but since it's coming from a Western country I'm not sure how much good it's going to do - I suspect most of Bin Laden's pool of potential supporters would look at them as outsiders who are complicit with the forces of Westernization and modernism that they are committed to fighting against. Then again, it's a good starting point for like-minded Muslims in other countries. I also think it's good that they threw in the bit about the U.S. - it shows that you don't have to be pro-US to be anti-terrorist.
