Shamelessly reblogging since 2009 or so

Notes

So we finally nailed Bin Laden

but will this actually change anything? Was he the one man responsible for all acts of terrorism? Did radical Islamic fundamentalism die with him? Now that Bin Laden is dead, does that mean we can pull the troops out of Afghanistan?

I’m not trying to be a party pooper, but I don’t think that Bin Laden’s death will precipitate any real change. We only killed a man; we can’t kill the radical ideology he stood for.
