You said that the difference between Abe and Osama is that Bin Laden set himself up to bomb while with Abe it was just dumb luck. Even so Abe still went ahead and killed! If you find a gun that does not mean that you have to use it!

You're absolutely right. Personally, I think any killing done should be completely personally, one on one. Although I also think that no one should feel they have the right to go through with it, so that's sort of a catch-22. But if you recall, OI was originally going to have a mode in MO where you got a special something if you went through the entire game and didn't kill ANYTHING. The killing in AO and AE they probably would like to be able to avoid, but didn't figure out a way in time, especially since they didn't manage to implement it in MO.
So yes killing is wrong, but I think that OI knows this and would like to offer alternatives. The problem we might have with Abe in his two games is essentially a question of gameplay.

Colour me wrong, but i'm sure buying up all the water in the area and then selling it to the locals is intelligent.

Economically intelligent but morally reprehensible.

Ps the biggest threat to world peace is currently in the White House

Amen. Unfortunately the two party system doesn't leave nearly enough room for alternative candidates.
And on a final note, much as I love the idea of consumer politics, there's only so much one can do to avoid giving money to these conglomerates. For instance: I hate Microsoft and Sony, but in order to play the games I liked (namely Oddworld) I had to sell out and buy an xbox. And beyond that, even if one can manage to avoid buying stuff from blatently evil companies, there's always the good company that's owned by another evil one. Case in point: Converse. Who owns them now? Nike or Reebok. I forget which.
