But doesn't it really work that the current bad guy is really just that?

Like hollywood's box office heroes, who the top guy actually is inconsequential. Whether it's Cruise or Ford means nothing. It's the state of the movie industry that's important.

Whether it's Komeanie, Who's sane, or Beenladen is similarly nothing. It's the state of the Terrorism industry that's important.

If you think that Cruize or Ford are critical to the health of the movie industry, that's nuts.

If you think one of dem arabicidiots is critical to the health of the terrorism industry, that's nuts too.

Until memory fades; which it always does (curbside checkin bans and federal airmarshalls are both hold overs from the last go-round).
