believe me, "Taking down Osama will be a moral victory but won't kill the organization. Taking down all the top leaders would." would not end the war on terrorism. You *can* take down all the top leaders..and more will follow..and more will follow...and so on and so forth until you take care of the root problem. The root problem either being the US or the general state of affairs of the middle east or any number of any 10,000 things that can possibly piss off a religious zealot..which could be anything, depends on interpretation. I think that is why the "War on terrorism" is a BAD idea. Sure, there haven't been any attacks on american soil...but i dont' recall any attacks on canada's soil either...(haven't checked that, but i'm fairly certain) or on norway's soil..or germany's..or france's..or any of several countries, so saying we are winning bc there haven't been any attacks on our soil isn't exactly very satisfying.
I do, however, think the war on terrorism is just a bad idea all together. and i agree with Strange famous, in that the only end will be peace and understanding of some form or another. More violence from the US will result in more acts of terrorism in a vicious circle that will escalate until....hell, i'm not a fortune teller so i can't exactly say how far it will go, but i think the idea of open ended warfare is dangerous and foolish.
