:::I think you might be jumping ahead a little - as of now Pakistan is still an ally, and in fact apologizing for incompetence. Also his execution has been a focal point since President Bush announced that he would be taken "dead or alive", and on bin Laden's computers we found tentative plans for future attacks - so there was some preventative aspect. But we shall see - perhaps the future will prove you correct, but personally I think the bullet to his head could potentially be what is the killing blow to an organization that now finds itself obsolete and without a charismatic leader. But alas, I'm getting off point :)

:::What would you say your expertise in? I'm not an expert in really any issue, so I can do research and write about whatever, but obviously if you're an expert in his, say, early life, then I'd want to leave that to you.--<small>[[User:Iduan|<span style="color: #FFCCCC; background: #660000">I]][[User_talk:Iduan|<span style="color:#CCCCFF; background:#000033">Duan]]</span></span></small> 13:07, 7 May 2011 (EDT)

::::So, while this may be a victory for Obama's approval ratings and reelection efforts, it's hardly a victory for the war on terror, coalition building, or preventing future attacks. [[User:RobSmith|Rob Smith]] 13:21, 7 May 2011 (EDT)
