Further to comment # 1, Bennet Voyles says in the same vein in TOI, "Bin Laden's most significant legacy is arguably the degree to which he led the US government to institutionalise an American jihad against terrorism that almost constitutes a new Cold War, one that has led to the building of a vast secret military and intelligence instrument that he would have appreciated - a tool that can reach almost everywhere, usually without courts or legislators to hold it back."
Ghai says "still America will be America "
Yes, it is America's innate and pervasive evil which is now on display.
The Evil Empire's evil, freely inflicted on the world for over half a century, is finally recoiling on its own citizens. This can only be a good thing. The more Americans, Brits, and other Western people suffer the better. They deserve it.
Nothing can be done against the most powerful nation in the world.Let us live as slaves and die.Only God can do something about this.Ordinary mortals have no power.Sorry.
Scriber of the article is a typical Leftist and divorced of logic.
America and the World have no choice but to act and save its citizens. THIS IS THE ONLY WAY, USA is pursuing and every Country should follow this. At the cost of Liberty and Freedom, we the Citizens in the West have peace. Every "Islamist" and every "Leftist", I mean every Islamist and leftist- should be profiled and kept under the scanner from craddle to grave.
Ghai,
>> Post Muslim Radicalization the World must learn to live with toned down freedoms which are now things of the past for the humanity .
Your historical perspective does not go beyond the tip of your nose!

Sufficient time for the Jihadis to create more problems in USA and World over. Post Muslim Radicalization the World must learn to live with toned down freedoms which are now things of the past for the humanity .
Never forget what happened on 26/11 in Mumbai even after 7 yrs of Atta Mohmed led carnage in NYK .If not USA then Islamists will create problems and are creating problems in rest of the World. So neither USA nor World at large can afford to relax Security Norms.Rather USA has done a good job in observing Security Rules strictly and avoiding another 9/11 where as India has time and again failed to protect its countrymen. .
'4 plotted to blow up UK army base
Four Britons, three of them of Pakistani-origin, were plotting to blow up a Territorial Army base in the UK by using a toy car loaded with explosives. They are accused of taking their lead from copies of the al-Qaeda magazine Inspire which contains blueprints for home-grown attacks. -- a campaign of terror attacks in Britain, authorities here said, adding the plot was foiled in a huge surveillance operation.
The alleged complex 16-month plot emerged as four British Muslim men appeared in court on Monday charged with a raft of terrorist offences. The gang is accused of working to recruit others to fight Jihad and raising vital funds. '

"Otherwise America will cease to be America." Faruki
Though Islamists are trying very hard and persistently to see that America ceases to be America but
still America will be America despite and in-spite of Islamic Terrorism .
9/11 has led to erosion of some basic freedoms that Americans take for granted. Leftist journalists may sometimes exaggerate such erosions to portray an Orwellian dystopia. Hopefully the press, the Congress and the U.S. Supreme Court will over the next dacade or two act to curb some of this governmental over-reach. Otherwise America will cease to be America.
