So it comes to an end finally. It has been confirmed and now days on the world is getting use to the feeling of the world where Osama Bin Laden is no longer one of its living occupants. Justified in as many ways possible by evidence of all the horrific terror acts that he committed past, present and possibly future from information recovered at the scene of his demise.
I remember somewhere along the line a very long time ago that some important government official somewhere said on camera that the world would be a safer place when we are rid of the likes of Osama. Looking at what is following in the wake of his death, I do not see any single government going on to believe that we can sleep safer in our beds at night with the thought solidly in mind that he is no more.
In fact most of the nations who actively hunted him down as a fugitive from justice are on very high security alert. With ominous words sounding that we should expect reprisals in some form from his supporters or groups sympathetic to his causes, that is a bit scary when you consider that he single-handedly spawned an entire generation of terrorists who took global terror to a whole new level.
They have become very inventive and adaptable in their urban terror and they are taking the fight to the big security outfits who have out-thought them up-to-date, thereby thwarting almost every major terror attack. The future looks bleak now,with governments now forced to downsize because of the economic recession, valuable resources and assets are being done away with to seek political gain and balance the books so to say.
How safe the world really is will be a question we will keep asking ourselves until we see where the choose to strike next and exactly when and how, one thing I can assure is I don't feel any safer even though Osama is gone, do you?
