Is Bin Laden dead? Who cares?

My initial reaction to the latest rumors of Osama's demise was disappointment that he would never stand trial in the United States. I had often thought that the best thing for America would be for Osama bin Laden to be found guilty in court and hung until dead in a public ceremony in Times Square. However, recent conversations lead me to instead have new feelings.

I don't care.

Seriously. I couldn't care less whether Osama is dead or not. His death at the hands of the United States would do little good at home and would paint him as a martyr abroad.

Instead, our "fierce," "dangerous” adversary is painted as a weakling, hiding for dear life in a cave making poor quality videos and withering away in relative poverty.

We have witnessed the ultimate humbling of the enemy. The only thing left is for him to die of slow, natural causes, prompting little response from the Arab world, while oil prices gradually decrease and the airline industry raises it rates in time for the holidays.

So long, great foe; great killer of the Infidel.
By the way, how's that there "Jihad" comin'?
