Osama Bin Laden is just a pawn.

Quotes from ABC News.
"From what I knew of my father and the people around him I believe he is the most kind among them, because some are much, much worse," Omar bin Laden, who was raised in the midst of his father's fighters, told ABC News in an exclusive interview. "Their mentality wants to make more violence, to create more problems."

This is true, and 100% predictable... his son knows it and we know it. Osama Bin Laden is a pawn...just a pawn in a game that is much larger and older than even he. This is not the game of life...rather it is the game of Death. This game is played between Countries...fighting for superiority over each other, Countries fighting to steal each other's riches...each other's futures...each other's children. It has always been this way, as far back as we can remember, but surely thousands of years before that even. What caused this now and that back then? Greed...the same greed that our last Government succumbed to...and the one before that...and the one before that. We are now a race of...beings headed for the stars, with the brightest of futures, with the brightest of hopes, with the brightest of expectations...there are many in this Universe who are depending on us...time will tell, what histories we shall write.

"...he says the worst may lie ahead, that if his father is killed America may face a broader and more violent enemy, with nothing to keep them in check."

That is no idle warning but instead, it is as accurate a prediction of a future as there ever was told...but it doesn't have to be our future...
We live in the past...with past ideas of conquer, of wars, of thievery, past ideas of bygone religions, that wreak havoc on us even now...past ideas that greed and self, matters more than life ...and our journey to better days...

The question now is, how do we stop the cycle of tit for tat?
