What is important is the world-wide, religiously based uprising against anything or anybody not believing in fundamental Islam. Bin Laden may be a vocal centerpiece and symbol, but he by himself is not that important. If you are saying the jihad will go on without bin Laden, I wouldn't disagree, but that doesn't make bin Laden unimportant. He's more than a symbol. He's the man behind the murder of 3,000 Americans, and the fact that he is still breathing free air says something quite profound about us, doesn't it? Yeah, it says we decided not to invade Pakistan. I agree. The politics and logistics of the "hunt" is very complex. There's always the danger of causing more chaos in the world than that already existing. If GWB acted like the "cowboy" that his critics claim he is, he would have ignored Pakistan's soveriency claims and sent the troops in to capture or kill bin Laden. It may have accomplished a short term goal but would have set off another major crisis. Nope. Iraq is making more and more sense as being the focal point on the war on terror. No surrounding nations liked Sadam; in fact they were threatened by him. The people of Iraq were oppressed and treated to terrorism from within. Rather than invade every country where members of Al Qaeda reside, or the many terrorist organizations associated with Al Qaeda (al Jihad, the National Islamic Front, Hezballah and others) all of whom, BTW, share a common goal .... the defeat of western civilization and freedom, particularly that represented by the United States, it makes more sense to bring them to us. If that was the plan, it's working to a degree. Eisboch |
