Re: Announcement on Osama bin Laden? Update: bin Laden dead
Why the cynical streak? This is a big day in the war on terrorism. Yeah, we need to be extra vigilant since Al Qaeda will likely try a revenge attack, but consider this: When Saddam was hung his Bathist supporters vowed revenge and fought angry and hard for about a year. But after that they slowly realized there leader was gone and most eventually gave up the fight. I'm not saying that will happen with Al Qaeda to the same degree, but it will certainly discourage them and likely thin their ranks over time. I doubt any new leader is going to have the draw on young Islamic nutcases like Bin Laden did.
