Osama bin Laden has died again, or so it seems. Everyone that I encountered a few nights ago displayed happiness over the new death of bin Laden and considered it so important they just had to tell me about it. In a few situations I just stared at the person and in others, I laughed. It wasn't laughter derived of joy or happiness; it was laughter that said, shit people are stupid here. It was the type of laugh that says, yes, I am ridiculing you.
Gullible is the best description I have of all those that I encountered celebrating the death of a long-dead boogeyman. I really wonder what type of drugs these people are being fed? Or is it a lack of a real education? A person can graduate from college and still not know much about reality in the US these days. Most of my classmates in college (2004-2007) are solid evidence of this.
What do I think? Does it really matter? I don't think it matters at all. One thing about it – I refuse to argue on the topic with anyone that is beneath my level of knowledge in relation to US foreign policy. That counts out almost everyone on Amazon's Kindle forums. Perhaps they might consider spending less time attacking people on forums and more time actually reading books – non-fiction reality-based books though, and not the vampire/zombie stuff so many are into these days.
There is no reason for me to say what I think when Paul Craig Roberts states it so succinctly. Paul Craig Roberts is an economist and is best known for his role as United States Assistant Secretary of the Treasury for Economic Policy during the early years of the Reagan administration. The articles that he has published in the last few days best describe what I think:
Osama bin Laden's Second Death
Osama bin Laden's Useful Death
The Agendas Behind the bin Laden News Event
Now you know exactly what I think.
