I just return home after seeing "United 93."
You are so frikken right and all sensible people know it. Osama is a cog in the wheel of islam. Take him out and there are millions eager to replace him.
This isn't a convention war...it isn't a war against a nation state and it sure as heck isn't a war against person...
Kill Osama and another will swing up into position.
Islam is threatened by modernity. Islam must either accept the modern world and take its place in it (which means that islam must lose its core)...or islam must bring modernity to a halt and take us all back to a Taliban world (a world ruled by islam and sharia).
If islam gets nukes and the missiles to deliver them...what do you think islam will do?
