It's been 9 years since the US started its war on terror. Nine long years since the first bomb rained down on Kabul to overthrow the Taliban and hunt down Osama Bin Laden, the world's most wanted man. Capturing Osama won't end the war. You can kill a man but you can't kill his ideas. Capturing or killing him isn't going to vanish away the problems of the region. But then again, we would prefer him dead given the fear and awe his name inspires. Is that possible? Not really if he's not real.
Osama Bin Laden would be the dream of a terrorist who's a brand manager. Masks and beards and voices wouldn't be much of a problem given the kind of technology we have. He would be the One Godly figure spreading anti-West propaganda, video after video, uniting the cause, inviting new members to it. Plus, it becomes kinda hard to catch someone who doesn't exist, it's perfect.
PS- I haven't actually seen George Bush either, but i still think he exists, ditto for Osama. Except Bush is quite a nightmare.
