	Bin Laden - Charles Gordon
		It was Gordon who stated, “my resolve is never to be taken alive.” Gordon was the leading figure who died in the siege of Khartoum, though he could have escaped, if that was his desire.
		It is interesting to note that in the BBC biographical sketch of Gordon, the British public viewed him as a “ martyred warrior-saint,” which is a theme prominent in the mindset of Osama Bin Laden.
		Gordon became disenchanted with the British Empire and in fulfilling his vow that he would rather “live like a dervish,” Gordon reincarnated as Osama Bin Laden, a militant leader of the Islamic world.

	Sir Richard Francis Burton and General Charles 'Chinese' Gordon
		Both Gordon and Burton were in the habit of writing quite freely on men and things, and therefore it has been found necessary to suppress some of the letters; but those given will, I think, be found of general interest.
		When Gordon's offer was echoed by the Khedive on 16 September [1877], Richard replied that while the development of Africa would always be close to his heart, he was more interested in conducting another mining expedition to the Midian to open up the gold fields for Egypt.
		Gordon went to many places--India, China, the Cape--and played many parts during the next three years [1880-1883]; but he still continued to correspond with Isabel and her husband at intervals, though his correspondence referred mainly to private matters, and was of no public interest.

	Colonel Gordon and the Mahdi
		Notwithstanding Gordon's religious zealotry and reputation for being a loose cannon, he had shown audacity in putting down the Taiping rebellion ten years earlier, whence he earned the nickname "Chinese." He would be dispatched to Sudan to collect information and to evacuate Egyptian citizens from Khartoum.
		Although Gordon was ordered not to take military initiatives, his reputation as a colonialist warrior must have raised the possibility in Gladstone's mind that Gordon might "improvise" after arriving there.
		On his first tour of duty in 1873, Gordon had signed on with the Khedive Ismail to wipe out slavery in the Sudan, a country that Egypt was attempting to liberate, all the better to bring under colonial subjugation.

	Heroic Defenders of Western Civilization
		The heroic Christian general Charles Gordon made a deliberate choice to lead the defense of the city of Khartoum, even though he knew it would result in his death, because of his perceived responsibility to its inhabitants-- most of whom were genuine Muslims.
		The Mahdi will not even allow Gordon to evacuate the Egyptians to Cairo; they must die as part of the "miracle" with which he intends to impress and intimidate all of Islam.
		The Mahdi places his intended slaughter of the Egyptian civilians at the same moral level as Gordon's execution of slave traders, much as Palestinian and PLO apologists today place bombings of Seders, Bat Mitzvahs, dance halls, shopping malls, and pizza restaurants at the same moral level as military retaliation against terrorist organizations.
