credit, but I do think people are overestimating the influence of one sick guy on dialysis and the impact of his death in the larger scheme of things. At one time he was probably the main guy in al Quaeda, but I think he has long been sidelined.

I don't think we will get our civil liberties back, nor do I think the fraudulent WoT, which is actually just a profit driver for the MIC, will start winding down now that OBL is dead. Nor do I think the Republicans will stop stealing elections.

The euphoria in the pictures is probably out of proportion to the significance of the death, though our delight that this came on Obama's watch is certainly appropriate enough.
