I believe a war against terrorism is endless and self defeating... vengence is never satisfied, if US soliders kill Iraqi civilians to topple a regime they believe supports terrorists, they create more terrorists.
I am not defending UBL, I think he a religious bigot, a hate monger, and most likely a criminal.
But at the same time I think people want to believe in some kind of arch villian, because that is safer that what I believe is the truth - that an attack as terrible as the one on the WTC did not need huge funding, or a criminal mastermind behind it all, it was simple to carry out... and that is what people seem too frightened to think: that now we have so many ways to hurt each other, that it is so easy, there is simply no defence, and as long as a human race we chose to fight, there will never be any defence, the bomber always gets through, the innocent always die for someone else's war.
