Thought on OBL

So, Osama bin Laden is apparently dead now, and I've been trying to think of something interesting or insightful to say about it.

But after thinking about it for a day, I realize there really isn't anything to say. Osama bin Laden is dead, and nothing has changed. Such is where Our Betters have left us after ten years of war and destruction and oppression and injustice. Everyone might have been celebrating last night, but when they woke up this morning, the world was essentially the same as it had been the morning before. OBL is just another body towering over the totalitarian abyss we find ourselves trapped in today, and one more body doesn't matter.

also: I won't believe he's dead until I see the long-form death certificate.

also: Osama bin Laden's death is al we qaeda hoped for.
