An excellent question without a definitive answer. Does the death of ANY leader weaken the organization? Would the elimination of top Al Queda leaders reduce their effectiveness? With the capture and killing of some leadership being touted in the news as "great victories", apparently there are those who think this is true sometimes, and think it isn't at other times, whatever suits their purposes at the moment. No wonder we cannot seem to "get it together" when even our internal mesages are mixed and inconsistent.

I get tired of the blame game and the rethinking of history as if those making decisions years ago knew then what we know now. Now who is trying to rewrite history to fit their preconceived notions?

Sounds like some who are so ready to rattle sabres and talk tough are the first to say "Leave them alone or they will come and get us".

Time to end the armchair quarterbacking, accept the fact that what has happened happened, and start thinking like Americans have in the past...If we have to adapt their methods to some extent, do so.
