The Political Fallout of the OBL Execution

letter-from-america.jpg

President Obama is praised with reason for his decision to kill Osama bin Laden, when the CIA offered him this opportunity. As the Commander in Chief he bears the ultimate responsibility for the success and the failures of the US military. If the operation had failed, he would have been blamed for it. Now that his decision produced success, he deserves to be applauded for it.

Up till now, Obama committed one international blunder on top of the next international humiliation. The execution of OBL becomes a shining star on his coat of arms. Obama will counter all critique on his international record by any Republican candidate for the Presidency in 2012 with: “Was it not me, who killed OBL, the most wanted Muslim terrorist in the world?”



Osama Bin Laden And The Nemesis Of History

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.
