This is what happens when you watch too much "24":

First of all, don't get me wrong, I am extremely glad that we finally got Osama bin Laden, for the sense of closure that it'll bring to this country for 9/11.  All the people who've been affected, including the military (which includes me) and their families, deserve this.  However, I was really thinking about it today, and thought up a crazy scenario that I had to blog about, because it scared ME.

I really hope our President does NOT get assassinated over this, I am really glad that we have our first colored President, and I want him to serve a full two terms.  I'm sure it's not out of the question that Al Qaeda now wants to try and take potshots at our own President.  Here's the crazy scenario that came to my mind today:

What if Obama gets assassinated by some radical, racist conservative movement, but they set it up to make it look like al Qaeda or some Muslim fanatic pulled the trigger?  This killing of bin Laden would be the perfect impetus for some crazy scheme like that to be pulled off.  The US would be thrown into yet another period of unity/fear just like after 9/11, and this would perpetuate the wars in Iraq/Afghanistan just because the American public would be amped up again in war-mongering mode.  This would immensely help the Republican agenda: Obama would be out of play for the 2012 election, the US public would be thrown back into that controllable fear mode, and public support for the wars will ramp up.   After this, I can see them easily regaining control of the White House and the government.

Yes, this is a crazy scenario, but one that just scared me so much in my head, I really really don't want this to happen.  This would be how the neoconservative movement would take back control over the US public.  

Yeah, I've probably been watching too much "24".
