What does the killing of Bin Laden really mean?

I am extremely pleased to hear that Osama is dead. It finally feels as though there has been partial justice done for the 9/11 attacks. Although I would have liked to see him hang on live national tv. However, hust because he is dead, terrorist are not going to stop trying to kill Americans. THis will probably only enrage them more. There are thousands of terrorist out there, and now the only question is who is going to take over is postion as the figurehead of the bad people in the world, its only a matter of time. I do think it is now time to end the two wars that are going on in the Mid East. This was the only clear goal for the war in Afgahnistan. We should now use our troops to protect the United States. We should focus on defense instaed of the offinsive. Yes the best defense is a good offense, but at what cost. We should focus on intelligence in learning what they will do and identifying terrorists and stopping them as they try to act out there plans. We can no longer afford to continue our campaigns in the mid east. The money should go to border protection and intell services. Our next major problem I foresee coming is with the drug cartels in mexico. More and more americans are being kiddnapped everyday along the border. We need to focus on keeping the mexican violence on the south side of the fense. One thing that I feel will help to eliminate a majority of the violence is by legalizing weed. This would create jobs in the United States, by createing farmers and companies that grow sell and transport the pot to stores. It would also create a large revenue for the govt. in the form of taxes. I heard one estimate of up to $60 billion a year in profit for the mexican drug cartels with about 80% to 90% of that form weed. If pot was legal that money would stay in America instaed of heading south. The violence would also decrease because there would be for les profits to the powerful drug cartels. Its really funny how the richest person in the world is a person that is in the mexican communications business. I have no proof that some of the money comes from drugs, but I can put two and two together.
