These all appear to be books well worth reading. But they may be making too much of Osama as the prime mover of it all.

I would be interested to know what their authors (and Card) would suggest our next move be if Osama is found (as I suspect to be the case) to have been under six feet of dirt, somewhere in Afghanistan, for some time now.

I agree that importance of Osama persona is overemphasized. But if we talk about the idea instead of persona, all stays. Looks like that the Jihadist movement is well decentralized, but acts with the common idea in mind.

I think it is very important to kill Osama (or prove that he is dead already), but it won't be the end of the fight by a long stretch.
