I suppose it's totally lost on you that the groups responsible for Madrid and London never even met Bin Laden and no funding ties from Bin Laden to these groups has ever been proven. They were merely inspired by him. He doesn't need to be living for that. In fact, he'll probably be more inspiring as a martyr.
One of the things he (Bin Laden) wants most is to turn Christians and Muslims against one another.
That would certainly give him his "holy war". |
of course - killing bin laden would not be the solution. but it would cut off one of the heads of the "hydra"...
but that aside, madrid, london and now almost germany, if you look at all these events, the question is, if there even exists a solution.
as you pointed out, none of these groups has direct ties to bin laden. the guys who tried to bomb the airport in ramstein(germany) were turks (but born and raised in germany) and germans which converted to islam.
these are all individual cells and it looks as if they do not even need any orders or support. the only thing they need is money, so i think the only chance would be to cut off the financial support.
but where is the money coming from? which ties need to be cut? this needs to be found out, but i think too many people do not even want this to be found out..... how about the government of saudi-arabia? and so on.....
again: killing bin laden is no solution.. winning the war in irak will not be a solution.. solving the problem between israel and palestines will not be a solution.
the only solution is: hunt the money down - close the accounts - and arrest the financers! but i am really doubting that this ever will happen.
