I think terror attacks are going to continue against the US no matter what terrorist leader we take down, economy we destroy, buildings we level or innocent civilian lives we destroy as collateral.
Terrorism against the United States is a result of American neo-colonialism, specifically, propping up corrupt regimes all over the world, especially in the Middle East. This type of foreign policy is required for our country to maintain the pathology called consumerism and a unique car culture, which in turn requires cheap hydrocarbon energy in order to maintain.
Sorry folks, 8 years and $4 trillion to get a guy is NO victory. Osama is laughing in his grave at how well he kicked our a$$.
Yeah, we may have the cheapest gasoline of all oil importing countries, but I guarantee that when you figure our defense budget from a tax payer standpoint, factor in the eventual cost of terrorism in terms of our civil liberty and reckon the loss of lives and limbs to our men and women in uniform, we pay more for that gallon of gas than anyone on the planet.
Having said that, I’ll just say that, ‘some people should die, that’s just unconscious knowledge.’ But I wish we could use our unparalleled special forces to bring to justice the criminals from Capitol Hill, Wall Street, K Street, the military-industrial complex and most especially their greedy and soulless corporate masters who just want you to stop thinking and keep shopping.
