Bin Laden died years ago
While the world is fixated on the military operation that killed Osama bin Laden, he actually died some years ago. Cut off from his organization, which is a shadow of its former self, bin Laden had little if any influence over events.

It’s a victory for the United States, but for the moment, a symbolic one. It brings to an end a U.S. manhunt for their highest value target, at a point in time when most thought the hunt would be in perpetuity.

What crime statistics don't tell you
A lot of crime takes place in the dark for obvious reasons. That's no reason to conduct the public debate about it under similar conditions. Yet while informed discussion is the cornerstone of self-government, on this central question of the state's duty to protect citizens from crime and public disorder, Canadians are not as well served as they should be.
