The news about the death of Osama bin Laden is much less important than the popular uprisings moving on in the Arab world.
Bin Ladens death is not immensely relevant considering the huge revolution in the Arab world that was probably kindled by Osama’s raw courage in spite of weak resources and hostile world opinion.
If the Arab masses think that a Osama the big “terrorist” contributed massively to Arab regime change, then Osama had achieved something. The wrong way or right way, is for historians to judge. How was Omar Mokthar the Libyan freedom fighter and martyr judged by Italian historians and the Arab historians? Did they use the same yard stick? But the Arab streets seem to say thank you to Bin Laden for feeding a flame that has all the potential to rage into an out-of-control blaze.
Bin Laden always wanted to get rid of Mubarek and Ben Ali and Gaddafi and so on claiming that they were all “infidels” working for America.
We have to remember that these oppressive regimes have always been telling the Americans to keep on supporting them because they kept saying, if you don't, Al Qaeda will take over . Did Al Qaeda take over Tunisia, Egypt, Libya, Yemen, Syria, Algeria, Morocco, Jordan and so on or is it going to take over?
What and who helped them to take over is going to be an interesting part of historians’ future investigation and research.
Celebrations in the United States over Bin Laden's death are less meaningful compared to the celebrations of the Arab masses on the successful people’s revolutions partly fuelled by the lunatic fringe called Al-Qaeda.
If the U.S. had killed Bin Laden a year or two after 9/11 the celebrations that are going on in the United States might have been more relevant.
The struggle against terrorism will not be won through killing, no matter how many people we assassinate. You don't fight malaria by seeking to kill every mosquito on the planet, but rather by draining the swamps ( Please address the root cause, look at for instance, the sufferings of Palestinians:the dispossessed,deprived of their birthright and denied basic human rights and freedoms,)
The pious Christians also believe that if we could accomplish God's justice by killing people, Jesus would not have come to die, but to kill. But that's not how God's justice works but does the Neocons
justice work the same way?
