A Safer America?

The United States has succeeded in eliminating one of al-Qaeda's chief motivators of lone wolf terror attacks against the United States. Anwar al-Awlaki was the inspiration for several acts of jihad, most notably the Fort Hood Massacre. Several failed attempts to inflict damage on America were attributed to the American-born jihadist, who had survived other attempts against his life. There will certainly be other terror-masters attempting to take his place, but for the moment at least, those in the Homeland may be a little more secure.
