Operation "Geronimo", which eliminated Bin Laden, is at the height of Entebbe and Chavin

Osama bin Laden, the world's most wanted terrorist, has died. Many, especially in the United States have held, it was understandable. There was clamor for justice more than revenge. Three thousand dead in the attack on the Twin Towers. But there is good cheer for the death of someone, I said a spokesman for the Vatican.

Moreover, this does not mean the end of the murderer of Al Qaeda group, which like any terrorist organization is composed of cells and many of them do not know each other and act independientemente.Si it is said that in 2001, the year of attack S -11 more shameful history, had 400 members, today has many, but are distributed in all Arab countries and some Western countries. The death of this terrorist leader cracks limited the band structure, and especially if no successor has left (anyone can self-proclaimed heir and start fighting for it) - but the replacement may be more bloody, but as The Washington Post says in his editorial "those who commit monstrous evils are always more dangerous in life."

However it is a psychological blow to many of his followers, even more than died in a nursing pompous and not in the field of battle. In addition, it will start "witch hunt" to find the traitor, the alleged informer on the location of the leader.

I remember when I was Prefect of Callao we convened a meeting at the Government Palace where we explained the Peruvian government's counterterrorism strategy: eliminate or arrest the ringleaders and block replacement of dead terrorists. Thus, it accentuated the police and military presence in universities and other institutions as well as optimize the state's presence throughout the country. This was the beginning of the end of Shining Path and Tupac Amaru Revolutionary Movement (MRTA).

In this sense, bin Laden is eliminated, but it is almost impossible to obstruct the entry of new members, especially having numerous radical fundamentalist Islamic groups scattered across the Arab nations, then the fight continues. Reaction is expected to terrorists, hence the strengthening of security measures in many countries. Since the same CIA chief, Leon Panetta, believes that Al Qaeda remains, today as yesterday, the biggest global threat that lurks in EE. UU. and their allies.

Obama is hawk

President Barack Obama gave a lesson to many Americans who argued disinterest in pursuing bin Laden. He himself gave the order to the operation called "Geronimo", which will help somewhat to his re-election, the presidential election still be made in November 2012. Similarly, the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) has demonstrated its efficiency and claimed his image. I always thought that the best intelligence services in the world were the Vatican, followed by the CIA, Israeli Mossad, the KGB of the Soviet era and the British MI6.

The operation "Geronimo", which lasted 38 minutes, was very successful and important because it was the world's most wanted terrorist, but is, I believe, a step below the Entebbe hostage rescue, achieved by 29 of Forces Command Defense of Israel, and Chavin, Peruvian commandos reached by the Japanese Embassy in Lima. In the first case in 1976, Palestinian terrorists hijacked a cell Air France plane to Uganda diverting. In 50 minutes saved over 100 hostages, all terrorists killed and about 50 Ugandan soldiers and 11 Soviet-made fighter planes were destroyed. In Peru in 1997 freed 72 hostages (one died, the supreme member Carlos Giusti) and struck down the 14 MRTA terrorists.

All were cases of self defense and all Governments also have the practice will not negotiate with terrorists, which is good because it prevents the weakening of the state and future extortion and repetitive actions. Negotiate for hostages stimulates the kidnapping. In this regard, the Russian premier Vladimir Putin said: "No civilized state can afford to negotiate with terrorists, because any kind of negotiation with terrorists weaken the state and strengthens them to them ... We do not engage in dialogue with those who have stained their hands with the blood of Russian citizens. "

Operations famous

There are other operations, equally famous, such as Operation Jaque and Sodom (against Colombian FARC terrorists), Garibaldi (capture of Nazi Adolf Eichmann in Argentina), Wrath of God (death one by one from the perpetrators of the slaughter of Munich) Vanunu (nuclear scientist catching a deserter), Echelon (huge interception of electronic communications, etc.).

As always there to discredit the "good", ie those who manage to save democracy or peace in the nation, and voices came out due to Bin Laden "just captured and handed over to justice" that "your body should not throw into the sea "," who was unarmed, "" a violation of another country "that" the operation should not be called Geronimo. " Follies and absurdities, like the Peruvian judiciary notifications hostages and commands that were in the Embassy of Japan fourteen years earlier.

It should be noted that Obama's decision not to show pictures of Bin Laden dead, avoiding the morbidity and exacerbation of hatred of the radical Islamist groups. In any case, may seek a better time if the criticisms increase steadily in doubt whether or not the terrorist leader was killed, although the DNA dropped to 99.9% that was it.

The message to the world that the terrorists have their days numbered, are where they are killed or captured will sooner or later justice will come. And, with respect to the United States, the bald eagle is in very good health. That which is in decline is the Chinese story. At the time Hitler was wrong, the Japanese in World War II, Mao, the Soviet Union (now Putin is not there he creates it, etc.).

I need to finish playing an important paragraph in the Washington Post editorial: "On Sunday, in a room at a resort in Abbottabad, Pakistan, at the hands of Special Operations Forces in the U.S., Osama bin Laden learned that he did not was the Messiah. In his final moment of terror, had to face that there was a future Caliphate, which was invisible to his enemies, that the only thing that had worked, planned and murdered disintegrates into dust. Bin Laden lives violence, and died violently. Justice, long awaited, honored the world. "
