Osama bin Laden is dead

A Navy Seal seems to have hit a target.

In a political forum, the best way to avoid being a target is not to re-act to being hit. Secondary of course is to not jump out of the foxhole everytime someone posts.

Now guys, keep it in perspective. I seriously doubt anyone making public policy is reading this forum.

"Keep it in perspective" -- well, here's mine. Anyone who posts is subject to rebuttal. Some people are afraid of being targets; others are not. Some people don't mind there ideas and posts being scruitinized; others whine when it happens. We are all part of the polity, whether we officially make policy or not. Oh, and trolling is trolling, whether it is excused by anyone or not.

Al Qaeda confirms that Bin Laden is dead. And now they vow to retaliate. Fine. We'll file that in the round file with their other 423 threats of retaliation.

What's the difference between "retaliation" and the killing of innocent civilians they have been doing all along?
A new era seems to be unfolding in the Middle East. The insane religious jihadists are becoming irrelevant. Young people throughout the Middle East know how to use their cell phones and the internet to organize and bring down corrupt authoritarian governments. They don't need jihad, their energy is far more effective than jihad ever was.
