And what about Bat Boy, Rapaire??? ;-) What would he think?

Bin Laden is worth more far to the USA alive than dead, seems to me...since he remains a symbolic propaganda tool of some importance (though it keeps declining all the time).

No matter which one of these media-made bogeymen dies, however, the fighting goes on. Has anyone noticed that? That's because the fighting is a result of longstanding and grievous and very real geopolitical issues...it is not the result of a few token evil "bad guys" and their doings.

This is not a TV drama, with an evil few criminal masterminds who are responsible for all that is wrong, and it will not provide a neat resolution for everyone at the end of the show when they conveniently kick the bucket in some way or another. It will not solve the problem when they die. This is real life, and real life is just not that simple.

In real life it isn't a case of the bad guys all being on one side, and the good guys all being on the other.
