Escobar

Taking down bin Laden is not sufficient. It is a distributed operation - not central controlled. Many top people must be taken down to destroy the network. This organization is much like Pablo Escabar's operation - just more international and not at war with the local authorities.
Great parallel, because when Escobar's organization was ``decapitated'' it served only to break up the rest of the organization into dozens of loosely connected groups. The monolithic cartel became what we have today; as you know there is more coke than ever in the U.S. and the prices are a fraction of what they were back then. Will all the sleepers who have already been trained and are now ``in position'' simply decide to get a job at McDonalds because the top dogs have been captured? One way or another, we are going to have to think of these people as well.
