Great… Can we go home now!

It is a terrific day for America and the world, OBL is killed in Pakistan by our forces. A major achievement indeed. This is someone we tracked or tried track day and night for years. Now that he has been killed it ends a dreaded chapter in the war on terror. We have spent almost 10 years obsessing over taking the revenge and protecting ourselves from these dreaded, bearded monsters from a distant land. This is a man who as a face of Al Qaida and evil for so many americans for as long as we can remember. However, we are not sure what differences it makes in the ground and in the region.

At the least I hope we can justify bringing the troops home, end this economy busting war, start concentrating on building and funding our own schools and in our future. The costs of this war is too much to bear. Our schools are loosing valuable teachers , we are unable to pay the paltry salary. We are unable to invest in development efforts to build our technology, research and business infrastructure. It is high time we start investing in the country rather than assisting other countries to build theirs. Charity begins at home.
