...arroyos and badlands of Sonora after he laid waste Columbus, New Mexico in 1916. (Prosaically, Villa was killed years later not by the U.S. Army but by a man he had cuckolded.) Precisely two years ago, Osama bin Laden slipped away from the mountain ridges of Tora Bora into the cave-riddled, forested valleys of the Hindu Kush, and allied forces have not laid a glove on him since...
