Osama’s Dead! Miraculously, all the 9/11 victims returned to life and the Towers spontaneously rebuilt themselves.
That’s how people are acting regarding the death of one man, as if finally killing one terrorist suddenly makes everything better and the nation’s 100% safe. As if they’re aren’t hundreds of not thousands of people in the world still planning/attempting attacks. Unless killing the big bad boogeyman of 2001 means we’re done fucking with the Middle East, nothing’s really changed. This wasn’t a triumphant victory, more like good PR for a president achingly in need of some memorable moment for his re-election campaign. (Re-Elect Obama: He Killed the Bad Man!) Bin Laden’s victims are still dead, we’re still bogged down in at least two un-winnable wars, and the majority of the world (especially the Middle East) want us to fuck off and leave them alone. Hollow victory anyone?

I think you’re underestimating the significance of this victory. It’s a major blow to al qaeda, and some degree of justice served.
