Osama's Ghost

As the news of Osama Bin laden shot dead trickeled in, i sat down and wondered how it was going to effect the world. Would the world was going to be a safer place. Would the world sleep in peace. The fact that Osama had been like a ghost for all these years, i feel he was just a figure head of a large corporation that sold terrorism as a product.

While the americans rejoice the death of a body, the ghost of bin laden survives in the form of his terror outfit al qaeda.

Al-Qaeda as an integrated network that is strongly led from the Pakistani tribal areas and has a powerful strategic purpose. Bruce Hoffman, a terrorism expert at Georgetown University, said "It amazes me that people don't think there is a clear adversary out there, and that our adversary does not have a strategic approach" Hoffman was so true when he made this statement. while the fact remains that Bin laden knew that after the attacks of 9/11 on the twin towers, he will be the most sought after. i do beleive that he had organised his chain of command and distributed power amidst his subordinates to retire in to the shadows. The additional time he got in the form of a decade was just an icing on the cake for the corporation. While it was inevitable for him to escape for ever, it does show the inefficiency of the American goverment who supported pakistan so vehemently.

While the USA issued travel warnings, it shows how afraid the americans still are of the ghost of laden. The fact is that it is going to haunt them in the times to come. Laden is dead only to be suceeded by 20 or 30 people who hold regional CEO positions for the network . While the group may get divided in to various outfits with no specific leader just as it happened with Alexander's empire, there is a posibilty, more attacks may occur as a matter of fact more vicious ones.

An organisation that believes in loyalty and jihad, where death is a way to the heaven, Osama bin laden was a decoy in a game that led the americans to loose billions of dollars and get involved in a war that has been on for ten years.It will be interesting to note how events are going to turn or just like inthe past .....as Osama died so many times before...he managed to decieve the Americans once again smiling, sitting in a bunker planning his next move, while a faithful loyal who underwent cosmetic surgery lies at the bottom of the sea.

While Obama's needed some thing to boost up his political career due to falling popularity, it comes as a perfect plan to increase it . A conspiracy theory seen so many times in the movies, but in real life for the first time to save a political career. As i sit and smile and wonder how the world falls for one man's political ambitions, Osama sits comfortable in a bunker thinking finally he became a ghost for real, or better still in heaven for he believed jihad was a way to heaven and he met his god finally
