I always felt that President Obama was too aggressive, but maybe I was wrong.

There have been a lot of collateral victims in all this; if taking Bin Laden down allows us to back off and ramp down, then it is very, very good step which will save many lives in the future.

I don't think this will make anyone like us more, but it will make people in positions of power think twice about backing such attempts. Knowing that we would hunt a man for nine and a half years, and knowing that he was finally found and killed, shows seriousness. The fact that we had to go into a bunch of different countries to do it shows that we can be relentless. The fact that the attempt crossed two different administrations also sends a message.

And it is VERY true that Obama always said he would do this, and that he has been very aggressive about it. He is due the credit, such as it is. I do believe that 90% of the country will feel that this a victory and a step forward.

I feel great worry about our bombings in Yemen and Pakistan, not to mention what is happening in Libya. I cannot grieve over Bin Laden's death.

It also gives this administration a chance to declare victory and get out; that buys Obama and the country some leeway. I certainly hope he uses that leeway.
