Osama Free-Write

My feeling on the death of Osama Bin Laden is indifference, however I do believe that this won't change a whole lot in the middle east, or how we currently stand overseas. Osama Bin Laden was (or we think he was) a huge figure for terrorism in the middle east, but, I don't know how much his death will affect Al-Qaeda or any other terroristic organization, in theory this could end the war on terror gradually, but the other terroristic groups in the middle east more than likely have other leaders that can easily fill Osama's shoes. It wouldn't make much sense to assume that this would affect our position in Pakistan or Afghanistan or any other middle eastern country with terroristic organiztions, Al-Qaeda is the most well known but that doesn't mean it's the most powerful, or influential in those countries. Like in class today, Max was saying something about how there's a 'runner-up' for Osama, and if he was in hiding all these years, who knows how much he was doing or how much influence he had on the terrorist's actions. Al-Qaeda could already have a more powerful leader and we have no idea who that person is. to be continued....
