      I'm incredulous. Anymore, bin Laden is like Bigfoot or the Loch Ness Monster.

        Osama is trying to assert his Presidency. AFAIC, if this is the sort of thing we can expect to see every time he delivers bad news (raising taxes, this time around), I say keep up the good work...that's better than any of the formers have given us.

              Yup, it was on here last night. About time this 10 year long game of hide and seek came to a close.

                yeah - I didn't see the other posting until after I posted this. I never get to be the first one with good news...

                      One down many to go.

                      But it's good one to add to the "Finished" column.

                        lol, I merged them...I think its exciting enough news to post twice.

                        ...although, I have some question as to the productivity of celebrating someone's death, regardless of how hated they are, and how deserving of that hatred they may be...

                          Yeah - it's unfortunate that there are people in the world who do things so monumentally horrendous that entire nations end up wanting them dead...

                          Did the destruction of the towers achieve the ends that Usama wanted? All I can say is - I hope not.

                            I really don't think this will change all that much. He was already pretty powerless, hiding in the mountains. With all the drones we've been sending out, I think the bigger piece of news is that he was still alive until yesterday. Terrorist organizations do not rely on a single leader. The death of Bin Laden does not mean the end of terrorism or the beginning of peace in the Middle East anymore than the death of Saddam Hussein did. There will still be terrorism and conflict and war. I don't find this worth celebrating.

                              I woke up to the news all over Facebook and Twitter (though, most of my Twitter is News outlets). BIG deal!
