Obama/Osama rock the casbah



By Pepe Escobar

"It may have turned the boogie on United States President Barack Obama's re-election, but the assassination of Osama bin Laden heralds a new breed of hell. The West's prophecy that al-Qaeda, made irrelevant by the Arab revolt, will react "with a vengeance" may be self-fulfilling, and the Arab world will revert to barbarism instead of dreaming of democracy...

There would be only one realistic way of possibly bringing this madness to a close, as in the oil in the desert way/has been shaken to the top; killer drones or targeted assassinations of the whole House of Saud. Pity that unlike bin Laden, who went rogue, the sheikhs will always take cover by posing as "our" fanatic bastards."
