At last a good post from you Whirlway- I trust BBC, and the documentary was very informative. I don't think we are much safer or free from terrorism, but I do think Al-Queada is severely weakened. Al-Queada surely could not be happy with the rebellions in Libya, Egypt, and Syria because all those rebellions they want a democracy which is something Al-Queada doesn't want.
I saw an interesting interview where a group of Pakistanians were asked about OBL and they all said that the majority people in Pakistan think OBL thinks that OBL is a CIA agent designed to make Islam look bad and also that the clips of people who support OBL that are shown by the media are a very small percentage of the population:
