From the desk of William Holland on Fri, 2011-05-06 10:11 The death of Osama bin Laden ushers in a period of relief fit for Sophocles! It should surprise no one that violent revolutionaries are unfit to govern the impact of the means by which they rule. This tale is well trodden when one considers Western literature, whether it be high Attic, Elizabethan drama or the political mien of Machiavelli. From the desk of George Handlery on Thu, 2011-05-05 10:04 1. Osama bin Laden has been induced to leave us. The good fortune of terrorists is on the vane. This applies to the ones in power that can apply the means of a government to oppress. It also pertains to the trade’s free lancers that head some bloody “NGO”. Bin Laden’s deserved demise comes late. His person and his, by now institutionalized, system have become separate entities. Like the McDonald chain, the gang’s franchises form a global network. This is likely to save the Qaida from disintegrating. On the other hand, “electioneering by terror” has suffered a major blow. Terrorism’s prestige will suffer and the remaining CEOs will need to spend much energy to hide. This will diminish the efficiency of their operations. From the desk of The Brussels Journal on Tue, 2011-05-03 11:04 A quote from Giulio Meotti on YnetNews, 2 May 2011: Europe risks losing all its precious gifts: human dignity, freedom of conscience, freedom of religion, freedom of expression, rule of law, separation of state and mosque. Across Europe there are dozens of journalists, cartoonists and writers who are living under terrorist threats. (...)Osama Bin Laden And The Nemesis Of History
