Thus, instead of viewing the elimination of Osama bin Laden in 2011 as the culmination of the anti-terror “struggle” that Bush launched, the Obama administration increased aid to “good” rebels (such as those in Libya), while pursuing “bad” terrorists more vehemently, including through a “targeted killing” program. When it comes to terrorist activity, however, such lines are difficult to draw.
因此，奥巴马政府没有将2011年清除本·拉登的行动视为布什所发动的反恐“斗争”的顶峰，反而增加了对“好”叛军（如利比亚）的支持，同时采取包括“定点清除”在内的手段更猛烈地追杀“坏”恐怖分子。但是，在恐怖活动方面，要划定界线是很困难的。
