He would be an interesting addition to the site- we know each other from college actually
Basically, from what I've heard, some people even doubt that Bin Laden is even still alive- meaning that we may as well wait for Godot as to wait for Bin Laden. He isn't a well man, and it's odd that we haven't heard much from him recently. If Bin Laden is dead, saving face may be more of a wish than an actual possibility. No other option- stabilizing the area, completely breaking up the fundamentalist aspects of society or winning the "hearts and minds" of the people of the region- seems like a viable possibility.
Pakistan will prove an even more interesting piece in this entire ordeal- especially considering that when we invaded Afghanistan, Pakistan was our ally in the region. The instability in the country, anti-American sentiments, and the current financial situation (not to mention the state that thier millitary is in and the fact that they already HAVE the bomb) definitley make it a danger. If it does play the North Korea card, who knows what country would even have the money to play into the bribes, with the current world financial problems!
All in all, it's interesting from an observer's standpoint, but rather terrifying once you realize the implications of everything and that there are people involved (and that we'll be stuck paying for this for who knows how long).
