Bin Laden was a bad person, sure. But there are a lot of bad people in this world. Why was he specifically killed, and why is he singular in his ability to motivate Muslims to terrorism? Why is he going to be any less effective in his death than in his life? I just don't see the value in his death. Terrorists in Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Iraq have no shortage of leaders, or of new recruits. The only real purpose I see in his death is making a new martyr - much more powerful than the hunted man who died.
