Killing an Arab.

>
It's as likely as not that bin Laden is dead, and has been for maybe a year or two.

However, his life as a dead person will be as long as Elvis's because if the West isn't fighting Osama and his ideas, then we're killing Arabs for the purpose of maintaining military bases and embassies in oil-rich countries.

And the US wouldn't have cause to creep into Pakistan.

And Americans would have to think about the fact that our real war is with hundreds of groups or Muslim radicals who want to kill Westerners -- hundreds of thousands of people everywhere, in every country.

We would get very bad headaches as we thought about that. And we would be even more terror-filled. And I would need a MacBook Pro more than ever.

So it's preferable for the West to have a single face to hate. It prevents headaches and, quite likely, hate crimes against Muslims from becoming as common as blinking.
