...Perhaps, in sending bin Laden's body into the waters of the ocean, we should consider sending all that he represented to us to the bottom of the sea as well. Perhaps we could, in his absence, remember once again who we are, and begin to rebuild our confidence in ourselves – starting with our system of justice.

1. No. Freedom is more elusive than Bin Laden

2. Haven't you heard?

"Slavery is Freedom".

3. Of course not, silly

Because it was never actually about bin Laden, and was ALL about destroying our civil liberties and providing a deep-water revenue stream for the MIC.

Don't look for the so-called 'war' on terror (or drugs) to end... ever. They are endless by design.

6. Succinctly put. You notice how, now that people are saying that

we should get out of Afghanistan, There's more and more time spent telling us why we can't do that.

It never was about OBL. It's about oil, natural gas, precious metals and ACCESS to the aforementioned throughout the ME and central Asia.

And in my view, the real terrorists, and it's probably heresy to say this, but worse than OBL because they were the brains behind the operation, are still walking free. *cough* Cheney, Rummy, Bush et. al.

5. No. It wasn't, "HE hates us for our freedoms"...

It was, "THEY hate us for our freedoms".

No more freedom for us until "they" are all dead.

Something we all know will never happen.
