perhaps the whole "who is bin laden" search was meant to get MORE information about him, like a biography. Even here in China I haven't met a single person who doesn't know the name and generally what he did, but they don't know many details. As I'd say most people on this board (well informed and educated people, mind you) probably know very little of his life. It doesn't hurt to know your enemy...I mean, we spend quite a while studying Hitler in school too.
Personally I always saw Osama Bin Laden as a kind of Frankenstein. I mean, America more or less created, trained, armed, and angered, him and his men. I think that's an important lesson for kids to learn. The mistake wasn't being complacent about safety in the us. The real mistake was being complacent about dangers caused by the us around the world.
Seriously, I implore you to not delete my post this time. I think i'm being very reasonable and allowing for open debate, expressing myself freely. Isn't that what soldiers fight for every day?
