Binladen has been a non issue in global terrorism since 9-11.
Yes it's good he's dead but at this point it's like catching Nazis in Brazil in the 1960s.He was a wanted criminal and now he's gone.He paid for his crimes. But it won't cause the Murdering Muslims to have an epiphany and sing Kumbaya,,,
Wheel,
I think you are dead wrong in your assertion that Osama has not been a factor. Osama provided the motivation, money, and technical know how to build roadside bombs, IED's, in addition to his intelligence factor.
Will there be another Osama? Not likely. This guys financial means were slowly being cut off since the mid 90's. He was educated and had the charisma to unite a people that are generally impossible to get to agree on anything.
He motivated people that generally believe in "Allah's will". Allah's will is more of a "if it's gonna happen, it's gonna happen", phillosophy. Not a proactive, lets force Allah's will stance.
I am glad he is dead. I am thankful that the president acted upon this intelligence. I am certain is has slowed down his the terrorist network and hobbled them. It further allows the intelligence community to focus on other characters in a more covert fashion.
Osama was like the hydra, but we finally got the correct head.
