Do you ever worry that Osama will attack us again? [View All]

[Philosoraptor]

90% of the herd couldn't pick him out of a line up, although they may have heard of him a few years ago when he made the headlines. But most barely register concern lately, I don't hear anyone expressing fears that Osama is going to swoop in and give us the sequel.

Republican talkbots never miss a chance to point out that we have not been attacked by Osama, or anyone else, in 5 whole happy, secure years. 3,000 died on 9-11, and about 3,000 G.I.'s have died, and of course about one hundred thousand have died in the middle east in these last 5 glorious and profitable years. But what of Osama?

The F.B.I. says he was never officially a suspect in 9-11, the C.I.A. stopped looking for him years ago. bush barely mentions him, maybe half a dozen times in the last 5 years.

Or is Osama the least of our problems now?
