I believe bin Laden is dead. Anytime now he could have proven being alive in many ways. Al zawari (sp) is the next major one to be bagged. JMHO

I hope so. Though it would be nice for a picture of bin Laden's carcass to appear - imagine the demoralizing effect that would have (as compared to Saddam's limp body hung by Iraqis).

Truth is, Saddam was a dictator. He barely had the hearts and minds of his followers - they mostly followed him because it meant power for themselves. Saddam is an easy target, while bin Laden is a bit harder since he does have that emotional support from his followers. Maybe that is why the Admin what after Saddam - he was a threat (although not as big - even Clinton said this), but was easier to destroy.
