"This is not the end."
Edited on Tue May-03-11 09:12 AM by Kber
"It is not even the beginning of the end. It may, however, be the end of the beginning."
Winston Churchill

Since we compared 9-11 to Pearl Harbor, perhaps an apt analogy to the death of bin Ladin is the landing at Normandy?

My Tuesday morning thought.

(and edited b/c I can't type today)

1. End of the beginning sounds about right...
Perhaps we will finally leave Afghanistan.

2. I truly hope so.
My real hope is that we can "turn the corner" on our military involvement in Afghanistan, Iran, etc and focus of diplomatic engagement that might actually produce a stable, peaceful area free of the kind of repression common now.

Maybe if we don't feel so threatened, we can think more long term and strategically about our interests and how they might best be served.

5. I had this same thought yesterday.
It is a perfect quote today as it was then.
