Killing Resolves Nothing

The plane I was on landed in Washington, DC, Sunday night, and the pilot
came on the intercom to tell everyone to celebrate: our government had
killed Osama bin Laden. This was better than winning the Super Bowl, he
said.

Set aside for a moment the morality of cheering for the killing of a
human being -- which despite the pilot's prompting nobody on the plane
did. In purely Realpolitik terms, killing foreign leaders whom we've
previously supported has been an ongoing disaster.

Our killing of Saddam Hussein has been followed by years of war and
hundreds of thousands of pointless deaths. Our attempts to kill Muammar
Gadaffi have killed his children and grandchildren and will end no war
if they eventually succeed. Our attempts to kill Osama bin Laden,
including wars justified by that mission, have involved nearly a decade
of senseless slaughter in Afghanistan and the rest of the ongoing global
"generational" war that is consuming our nation.

Yeah, the other six men in a cave are without a leader now ... guess
they will hold an election and fix that ...
