Good god, sound the trumpets, beat the drums! A deluded old man in a cave is killed by the largest, most powerful military ever created on Earth, nearly ten years after he was made a target. I'm saving my emotions for the living we can do something about them. I can't get excited about this, it does a grave disservice, I feel to all the people still being killed by our actions in the middle east, by the other terrorist groups we've supported over the years, by the 'secular' regimes we prop up and support in Bahrain, Syra, Saudi Arabia and - until very very recently - Libya. The ultimate joke is that this great American bete noir was created by the very country purporting to hate him. He is only unique in that he was used by Americans (and my country, sadly) as an excuse to continue the military spending of the Cold War, and unleash a horrifying conflict that as killed milions of people, destroyed nations, handcuffed developed economies and - yes - ultimately resulted in far more innocent American deaths than that September so many years ago now. There are no military actions, or protests, or celebrations about that.īin Laden is not unique in any way, not for hating the US, for his medieval conservativism, for killing thousands of innocents, as a figure-head fundamentalist propaganda, nothing. Honestly, the US govt, hell Henry Kissinger has been directly responsible for killing more innocent people than Osama Bin Laden could have even dreamt of.

I'm going to be super dooper unpopular for saying this, but: Who cares?
