I Wasn't Going To Say Anything

... but seriously? All this business about Osama Bin Laden is such bullshit.

People are celebrating that he got killed.
As if he was at all still relevant.

This hasn't been about Al Qaeda for a long time. And even if it was, there is more than just one person in it and behind things.

If this REALLY was going to make ANY difference at all, wouldn't soldiers be getting pulled out of the Middle East??
Yes.

And are they??
No.

Which means that this makes no difference to anything. Cool. Osama Bin Laden can't plot any more terrorist attacks.
It doesn't mean no one else isn't going to.

People are celebrating and chanting "USA!" in the streets, or so I hear.
How embarrassing.

He's being compared to Hitler.

How absolutely ridiculous. He was a fucking terrorist. He occasionally orchestrates mass murders to get a rise out of people.

Adolf Hitler managed to become chancellor of one of the most powerful European countries, take over most of Europe, convince enough of a country that genocide was the way to go to make Germany a better place to live, actually go through with widespread genocide, cause a World War, etc. Plus he had a whole bunch of nasty associates to play with. (I'm sure Bin Laden also has many of these, but I don't know their names)

You can't claim that Bin Laden started a war, because that probably wasn't his intent. I'm going to blame that one on the government of the United States. Way to go. By the way. On that one. Yeah.
Not really.

Hitler, on the other hand, wanted to take over the world, and would start a war over it if necessary. He ordered the ethnic cleansing of millions of people, and then caused a war, which killed tonnes of other people.

Added together, I'm sure the death toll far surpasses however many people were killed in acts of terror.
Not including suicide bombers themselves, of course, because if you really want to die killing other people, that's your problem.


ANYWAY.
I'm in Southern Alberta right now. On a farm. Just until Wednesday, though.
I can see Montana from the barn.
Chief Mountain (or something) in Glacier National Park.
