Editorial - The Island
The United States of America has destroyed a dreadful monster it mistakenly created nearly three decades ago to fight the Russians in Afghanistan. President Barack Obama has declared that Al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden was killed in Pakistan on Sunday. America erupted in jubilation. Americans' relief is such that their celebrations are likely to last for days, if not weeks. The US military and intelligence agencies are to be complimented for accomplishing their ambitious mission, albeit belatedly. President Obama deserves the credit for having led America’s war on terror with the single-minded resolve to win, impervious to blandishments and without trying to live up to Nobel Peace Prize expectations. However, the fact remains that America's war is far from over.
