The duel in the sun has lasted almost ten years. Finally won the cowboy, a dark-skinned cowboy and Arab name, son and grandson of Muslims who had to show his birth certificate to prove to the attacks of the opposition who was born in the United States, a prerequisite for president of that country, which definitely immunizes against the possibility that Zapatero may occupy the Oval Office. You know the theory: anyone can be President, but fortunately for the Americans in the USA that theory is only valid here. There, the all-powerful president is very much but do not reach the soles of shoes to the locals because, as you all know, those of Bilbao can be born where they want.
Dead dog rabies is over, the saying goes, and so seemed to feel the thousands of people who expressed their joy in Washington no longer be made public the news. But it will not be. The only thing Barack Obama has been has been to create an immortal icon. Never mind that they were the most wanted terrorist and hated by the West, or a mass murderer. Osama bin Laden is for Islamic fundamentalism, and will remain so for ever and ever, El Mahdi, the Chosen, who buzzed the most powerful empire on earth, who humbled North America, made rivers of blood in the proud city of the West to wash the pride of the East. Osama, for whom we continue to sacrifice hundreds and thousands of suicide bombers in what some call the Third World War, a war that is not going anywhere in particular but to everyone and not against anyone in particular but against everyone. In Kabul, Madrid, Cairo, London, in Islamabad, New York, in Casablanca. Against men, women and children, civilians and military, whites and blacks, Muslims and Catholics.
without distinction.
No prisoners.
Obama has not only done with Osama, it has established an indestructible icon. Much as it is to that other bloodthirsty terrorist, whose image symbolizes freedom paradoxically, the Che Guevara . The icons are fed the fervor of the crowd. No reason comes into play, but the primary instincts and emotions, from love hatred. Osama is hated by the West to the same extent and for the same cause that is dear to the East, for whom Osama is revenge, justice, promise.
Osama is dead, they say, and yet remains. Is behind the riots that have been happening in the Muslim world against corrupt governments, yes, corrupt (señálenme one all over the Islamic world is not), but pro-Western. The same unrest that stupidity has wanted to turn progressive democratic revolutions and has baptized with names of flowers such as jasmine revolution.
Osama is not dead, is laughing at the stupid Panfila Europe and North America. No, not the freedom of the oppressed, no democracy, no justice, which has overthrown the government of Egypt or Tunisia. A Muammar Gaddafi (by the way, Mrs. Carma, what a beautiful way to transform a revolt in a civil war for the interests of France), Bashar el Assad Ali Abdullah Saleh and not replaced Western democracy, but more radical Islamic theocracy.
will
And under the aegis of Osama bin Laden, wanted Barack.
