Bin Laden killed

Osama Bin Laden, the head of Al-Qaeda, he had changed the world with his fight vs. the US – and the United States of America changed the world with the fight vs. terrorism.

Or will the Washington administration continue to fight vs. the al-Qaeda hydra in more and more countries?

I am amused, to find a quotation of the old Greek historian Thucydides in a modern political blog – visit jacobbreach.wordpress.com: “A nation that draws too broad a difference between its scholars and its warriors will have its thinking done by cowards, and its fighting done by fools.” -Thucydides – frizz-comment: I fear, no one in the United States or in Arabian nations will hesitate to walk their usual line.
