Interesting comments from Bob and Kerimcan at the Yahoo Group "kucinich4president"

>>The point to remember is that roots of terrorism do not lie in Bin Laden's body. Many experts agree that capturing Bin Laden will not solve the systemic/structural inequalities and injustices that trigger and fuel cycles and networks of terrorism. - Kerimcan

>>Very true, but the American people don't know of or care about the roots of terrorism. This is the era of the "reality TV show", which is in fact not real at all, but a totally contrived synthetic competition. Americans think "good guy" vs. "bad guy". Terrorism doesn't fit that, but Bush might get reelected on that. And when the "capture" of bin Laden doesn't stop terrorism (just as the "capture" of Hussein didn't stop the resistance), well, that just means Bush will have to keep the war going, and Ashcroft will have to keep secretly detaining people! - Bob
