Re: Spurlock on the hunt for Bin Laden
Does it even matter if Bin Laden is dead? That is a rhetorical question, because the answer is no, IMO. Bin Laden claiming responsibility for 9/11 made him the "figure" anti-Western terrorist. he is not just a person, but an idea, a belief that unites a huge amount of people against us.
To me it doesn't matter if you kill any kind of head terrorist, because there is another one waiting in line to take reigns, and there are thousands of kids who are educated in radical Islam waiting to take their own lives for whatever that leader says. If anything killing Bin Laden will only increase the resolve of terrorists abroad, by motivating them. What we really need to do is change our role and basically show the younger kids of those regions the US is not the devil. It is hard as hell, and will probably not be solved in my lifetime but that is what needs to be done.
