It’s a bit fucked up that almost right out of the gate the whole conspiracy angle has been immediately and aggressively deflated.
But you know I don’t buy this whole ‘killing him isn’t a big deal’ type thing, take what you want from it which in this case isn’t terribly much at all and run with it. But I don’t think it can fairly be stated that the death of someone who’s built up as a major enemy of (country) when he dies that it doesn’t account for much of anything. First taking in stock that the people here are using terrorism in as haphazard a way as we American’s do, that is to say, incredibly vague and tying it to buttress their argument with it.
He wasn’t the leader of the IRA, or the African National Congress or the fuckin’ Hell’s Angel’s or PETA, it didn’t stop terrorism because terrorism is a miasmic mass that’s become such a blunted stump of a word it’s lost all it’s meaning- it’s a group of people who use violence to achieve their reforms. And like any good street gang the hierarchy in their black-market society is prepared and indeed designed -for- replacing people who die, quickly, so they can continue their operations. The war is far from over there- the people in charge of actually winning it know much better than we’ll ever approach pretending to, but that was never the answer given nor what any reasonable person can claim.
It was simply that someone who did a bad thing had a bad thing happen to them. So get pissed at me because like the low-down barbarian I am I’m simply glad the blame-figure for that crater that was downtown N.Y.C for half a decade is dead. I don’t expect anything particularly profound to come from it, I’m simply glad he’s brown bread, a goner, killed. Shit man Obama himself said the war is far from over and put it on the line that American national security is going to be pumped up in the face of any retaliatory strikes
shit the US military even gave him a burial at sea while an Islamic priest was standing by as an attempt to cut back on loyalist retaliation. If we aren’t, the US government is sure prepared for a good brawl as they’re oft to.
America’s big boogieman is a corpse at sea now.
