Sen Harry Reid (D) was interviewed and said he believed Osama bin Laden might be dead, possibly killed in the recent earthquake.
If it turns out that bin Laden was killed by an earthquake how exactly do the Muslim clerics interpret that news? And would that be a good thing for us? Has Allah struck down a murdering apostate or will the conspiracy theorists emerge with an alternative explaination?
And if Osama is gone, will some people see the war on terror as finished?
I can imagine, like Elvis, that Osama will make appearances around the world for decades to come, whether he's actually alive or not. A future conversation between two civilian contractors somewhere in the Middle-East might go like this:
"Hey, I dun seen Osama the other day drivin' one of them little hybrid cars."
"Really? I heard he shaved his beard and works at a Wal-Mart in Baghdad or a McDonald's in Tehran."
"No, I heard Dubya pulled some strings and got him a cushy job with Haliburton, gettin' paid big bucks… tax free!"
"Oooh, I knew it!"
