Is Bin Laden dead? What now?

Story. The French Intelligence (that makes me laugh just typing it) thinks so, according to leaked information. They are taking their info from the Saudi secret service, who says he died from a severe case of typhoid. Due to his remote location (because he would be shot if he showed his face) he was unable to get treatment. Not as satisfying as putting a bullet in him, but dead is dead. Of course, no one is really sure if the information is true. The US can’t confirm it. Al Qaeda hasn’t mentioned it yet. So we wait to see what happens next. This is a really good question. What now? There has been so much effort put into killing this guy. There has been so much fighting between the parties about how to get him, who let him go when, why haven’t we got him yet. Is the death of Bin Laden going to make that much of a difference? This is a highly organized group. Everyone in the group is focused on a single goal. Bin Laden may have been the one that got things rolling, but I don’t know how necessary he is now. I have not been able to see much difference in Iraq since al-Zarqawi was bombed to Allah. I don’t think there will be much difference with Bin Laden gone. There maybe a short period of in-fighting to take control, or maybe not. We must remember, this is not a political force, this is a cult. Brain washing helps to get rid of a lot of the in-fighting, back-stabbing, positioning we see in our own government. They just move everyone up a rung and continue killing us. Hopefully, I am wrong. Bin Laden is dead and Al Qaeda will slowly decay into the dust. The world will be safer. We can get on to other important issues. We can finally stop seeing pictures of him with his goats. The left can stop holding over the administration that we haven’t caught him yet. Though, I am sure the left is already saying that somehow Karl Rove went to Pakistan and sneezed on Bin Laden in the secret cell where the republicans have kept him until election time. They will try and find negative in it. They have a knack for that. I would love to hear from you, the readers, what you believe will happen if Bin Laden is dead. Will it make a difference in the war on terror, or will we just be seeing a new unwashed bearded face as enemy number one.
