I'm not sure of the significance of killing one lonely old man (he says spitting on the floor)...
... a cardboard cut-out of his once fake persona... who has faded to become a largely symbolic leader of a diminishing movement of religious nut jobs... The nuts will still be looking for a job...
But I understand that if he stays dead Al Qaida, will issue a postage stamp in his honor that can be used to send mail bombs.
